What kind of music do you listen to? (programming.dev)

IRL, I once listed my favorite bands across metal, rock, hip-hop, electronic, and drum n bass and was hit with "that's standard programmer music".

As someone with little physical human contact outside of work and actually meeting devs outside to find out they listen to the same music was a little surprising. That was a tiny sample though and this is the web though and people are from all over, what kind of stuff do you listen to? Favorite genres, artists, or just "everything" even noise?

I feel like it's very varied, but I'm not one to listen to metal or much rock. What I listen to changes from time to time.

I know the meme/prejudice of programmers listening to metal, and having long hair. I can't say I've ever felt like it was confirmed or justified. But it's not like I have that much exposure or insight to many either.

I'm not even sure I can list genres; I feel like it'd be too many and unspecific anyway. Chillhop, chillsynth, hip-hop, deep house, some pop, some german and japanese music, some chiptune, some classics of the last century; some are shared on https://soundcloud.com/kissaki
