Music while studying

I'm under the impression that listening to anything is worse than silence. Essentially anything you use any mental energy on is a distraction. If you want to stick to that theory headphones and white noise, eventually you will forget it's there.
You could also use one of those online rain/storm sound generators. It accomplishes the same thing and is much more pleasant.
That said, I tend to listen to ambient video game music. Specifically the No Man Sky soundtrack. I'd recommend anything you like without singing though. Or just music you've heard a thousand times already and can mentally tune out. The key is for you to not listen, as odd as that sounds, so if it gets you into the mood to study, and is easy to tune out, it's good.

I've found slow piano music to be real enjoyable.

I've also enjoyed "neoclassical," which, despite its hipster-y sounding name, is a really pleasant genre. Here is a link to a nice mix:

Something really loud and with lots of complicated lyrics will surely help you focus.

Multitasking is generally speaking bad for you according to one research as it supposedly kill brain cells. So you should focus on only 1 thing especially during study time. This is pretty clear now. Buy ear plugs, they should be really cheap on amazon/ebay, until then i suggest you do what >>9066385 says. From personal experience when i focus on my material i forget that i'm listening to anything and when i realize i just wander off with the music and start daydreaming, not only that you focus on the phone and even go onto social media, and that's bad, before you know it, 40 minutes pass by and you are just slacking off. Regarding music, something neutral. With that i mean no singing, it should be slow and emotionless. The Mozart effect perhaps ?
Wagner - Das Rheingold - Entry of the Gods Into Valhalla for example is really bad as its really energetic. Ambience is good, but it also has to be neutral. When i turn on Skyrim ambience i loop back into those 300hrs ive spent on the game. Rain is good i suppose, try to find something where you feel relaxed. For me storms work really well.

I usually listen to an ambient playlist while studying, I wouldn't recommend to listen to anything with lyrics in it.

Baroque. Written when scientific method was forming and instrumentation was becoming viable and precise, the universe was thought to run like the new clockworks, and the music reflected that. It's simple, plodding, requires little thought.
