pic related. What are some upbeat albums that you listen to stay in the zone doing work (writing, number crunching, etc)? Another example I can think of off the top of my head is Fang Island. I'm looking for the opposite of chill/study music. Something that keeps things hype, without being distracting. Mostly instrumental helps
I listen to metal in other languages, it's just engaging enough that I get motivated, but not too engaging that I get distracted, as you don't know what they're saying.
when i'm studying for uni i listen to ambient stuff usually, it's subtle enough not to be distracting, and also helps me keep a tempo, helps me remember stuff by associating information with sound, and provides an interesting background noise
trance is my go-to for this
Any hardcore punk or skramz
