I have developed my best software while listening to hard rock.

I'm semi-retired, but when I'm working, what I do requires a lot of concentration, so I don't listen to anything. After work, it's a weird assemblage of classical, old-timey, industrial metal, and neopsychedelic. Can't stand jazz or rap, and classic rock has been played to death.

Death metal on my way to work. Oldies and classical music for work. Sometimes silence because of all the noise from daily life.

At work I am playing music, because that's my job.

Very nice! I tend to get distracted from my work with English lyrics, or I subconsciously integrate the words into what I'm writing which can be awkward, so I mostly listen to instrumentals and non-English singers until I'm off the clock.

Classical, jazz, and light popular, though in truth, I no longer really work.

Almost everything except Rap and Death metal
