Old school rock imo. Plenty of playlists on youtube that'll last you a few hours.

A few Deadmau5 songs are chill enough to let you work but hard enough to still push you.

ANIMALS AS LEADERS. instrumental progressive band. some stuff is real chill acousticals and some is technical synth stuff. best stuff to listen to when you got stuff goin on.

dream theater is also sick for that.

I listen to everything I normally do when I do homework. It helps me concentrate somehow, everyone is always like "how do you do homework while listening to music?" I hate when its super quite, can't concentrate (unless I am reading a book).

or anything else by Explosions In The Sky.
Make sure you dont listen to them when you're depressed or you'll kill yourself.

Also



And anything else from the soundtrack to that film

if you want hip hop, go with blue scholars, people under the stairs, zion I

if not, stick with folky stuff like Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, Bowerbirds, Tallest Man on Earth

i am actually doing a test now.
its called music and the mind where i am testing the effects of music on concentration (and memory)
maybe later i will post my conclusion in this thread. i am looking for which genre is the best (which is probs bach or some motzart, they are soothing because their beat matches your heartrate) (and music vs no music)

my research says you should be listening to the song 4'33" by John Cage

Don't listen to anything with real lyrics. It has been proven to harm your concentration while doing anything speech/language related. I find this to be true personally as well. Listen to some mellow Mt. Eden or instrumentals or something. Deadmau5 is a good choice.
