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?
It’s probably easier to list what i don’t listen to: most country, hip-hop, rap, overly-noisy metal (where you can’t really understand what the singer’s grunting about), most pop.
Lately i’ve been listening mostly to Tool, Jinjer, Asian Dub Foundation and Thievery Corporation.
Tomorrow, who knows, maybe Madredeus or Garbage (the old stuff).
