    My brand of neurospicey has a heavy musical lean to it. I wanted to be a school music director at one point. Took years and years of classes but it wasn’t in the cards. I can’t listen to music now, without directing it in my head or drumming out the beat. The more chaotic and out there, the more i focus on the music and not what im supposed to be doing. For me, its got to be chill lofi or jazz or nothing at all.

      I cannot listen to music and do anything but listen to music. So, to feed the ADHD, I play rain sounds, Blade Runner Sci-fi atmosphere sounds, airport control tower, police radio firefighter radio, all at the same time, so I hear speech but it is impossible for me to understand what people say and focus on it.

    This, but I’m building a bocce ball court in the back yard to get closer to the plants I need to repot but it’s giving me anxiety because there’s so many. So instead I dig a hole in the yard 40x10 while blasting Pheobe Bridgers

    As soon as I blast heavy metal in my headset I get into the zone. Great for getting shit done, bad for my hearing.

    I’ve recently found using my Skullcandy crushers to play music in a manner that would make a nightclub blush while studying can keep me from constantly looking around at everything but what I’m studying

      This is me. Lots of very loud music in my past and now at 51 I still have surprisingly good hearing (can hear those anti-teen mosquito speakers if I’m close-ish) but the tinnitus gets wild sometimes. Luckily for me it works like white noise when I need to sleep. Bonus!

    I used to listen to Meshuggah at full volume to fall asleep. My roomate thought I was crazy but polyrhythms soothe my savage brain.

      EDM (chill stuff), lofi, jpop and city pop

      Not working is (hard) rock, edm (more intense), rap and jpop.

      Usually work is less lyrical or even fully instrumental vs free time is more attention grabbing stuff :)
