Discussion music genres while studying/working
guys i usually dont listen to music while studying or when i need to focus on something but i listen noises like brown noise, pink noise etc. Now im studying and listening house music and i just realized listening house music helps me focus easily and better understand the lesson im studying. and usually i dont listen to music everyday like for hours because it makes me tired and makes my brain messy and normally i listen all types of music but house music/edm is my fav because it doesnt affect me bad and makes me feel chill or something like that but sometimes i listen few songs or one genre for a long time like for days or weeks and even sometimes months anyways (sorry for the oversharing 💀 but im telling it for you to analyse better) idk i have been really invested in music‘s effects on human brain especially when u have adhd etc. it really changes the results and i think this may vary depending on the other syndromes or diseases, problems that the person has, but in general i feel that songs that repeat in a certain rhythm, that are not too flat or up and down are good for the ADHD brain, at least for me because when I listen to music created for adhd like on youtube i noticed that most of them have these kinds of beats and they work better for me than others. it calms my brain down, maybe its because there are less lyrics in these type of music. what do you think about it and what are your experinces on this topic?

For me I usually use music to drown out the excessive noise in my brain or just distract it. I honestly go with anything. If I’m trying to get stuff done at work I’ll start with my workout playlist and then as it gets later and I get tired I’ll relax with my Pokemon Heart Gold LoFi playlist

idk i dont have favorite songs rn 😠but like i said, i pretty much love and listen to all kinds of music but house/edm one if my favorites. still, i usually get into one genre for a while and just listen to that nonstop even the same few songs over and over. then i get bored and move on to something else. so it’s not like i’m always listening to house music. actually i hadn’t listened to it in a long time and today while i was studying, i started playing it and realized that
