I can’t work to music I just find it too distracting. But watching 2 different episodes of American dad, whilst working? Not a problem

Sometimes I’ll wear headphones and listen to music to concentrate. Sometimes I’ll take my headphones off to concentrate.

The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration

Try film scores. That’s what I use when studying for certification exams. I listen to Jóhann Jóhannsson, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Thomas Newman, Nick Cave, Nico Muhly, Max Richter, and of course some Hans Zimmer as well.

Not OP, but instrumental metal for working: Karma To Burn, Red Sparowes, Pelican (Pelican can feel a little souless but that’s my opinion).

I have an internal monologue.
(I say this because this is apparently somewhat uncommon)
Music with lyrics tends to make it more difficult for me to focus on my own thoughts, whereas music without lyrics tends to be much more effective at helping me focus on my own thoughts.
Of course, some music without lyrics is… just too jarring or loud in some way… but whenever a song has lyrics, those lyrics are basically taking up the same … memory channel, bandwidth lane, as my own thought process.
Same with any background conversation, actual people, TV, whatever, doesn’t matter.
Human voices throw off, to some extent, my ability to literally think through a complex process.
