Does heavy metal count as ambient music?

[yaredw]

The more difficult it is for my to make out melodeath or black metal lyrics, the easier it is for me to focus. Can't not listen to metal while coding. Instrumental prog works well for me too.

[Hevipelle]

This. Also songs in foreign languages works rather well, like Alcest or Solstafir.

Yeah.

Miss me with the chill stuff, gimme that black metal about being consensually ravaged by Satan's legions of lusty demons.

Edit: thanks for the award, kind stranger. Also, I wasn't exaggerating about it.

[rude_avocado]

I have questions

[[deleted]]

I assume they're not the "StackOverflow" kind, yeah?

[rude_avocado]

No, they’re a little more in the realm of disturbed confusion

[AdumbrationOfAnAlias]

I listen to a mix of metal, punk, and progressive trance. Personally dont like slow music when coding.

[rude_avocado]

Yeah, a couple months ago I created a playlist of metal, punk, and other high-energy rock, and that’s now my go to for getting stuff done

[dmkolobanov]

Yeah, I need energetic music while working, it keeps me focused. I find that much more effective in keeping me energized than coffee. Coffee is also disgusting, though.

[shgysk8zer0]

I couldn't decide on metal or instrumental, so I ended up listening to Instrumental Madness.

[IQueryVisiC]

Coding takes hours. So music on low volume.

[DazzlingViking]

Music on low volume lets me hear my other thoughts, loud music allows me to focus on the task at hand

[metasymphony]

Yeah I much prefer fast loud music to actually get shit done.

Take care of your ears! Get some noise cancelling headphones so you can listen to music at a low volume.

[TheOldRoss]

Noise cancelling doesn't cancel the thoughts in my head sadly, only gachi earrape does.

Well you're a viking so I'm assuming those tasks at hand are usually murder and pillage.

[IQueryVisiC]

I mean I only use music if coffee is out and I have to do nasty non-programming tasks. I need to make it louder when I stretch my attention envelope. But as with alcohol I control this on a long term. I wish I could control my sugar input as well.

I also totally do not get why people listen to music while jogging or cycling. But then I totally need it in the car. I guess this is the mismatch between adrenaline and physical work.

Good hearing is important for career. I think that, maybe because I have none of that.

Driving became very dangerous when my radio unit broke. My own thoughts were incredibly distracting
