Crust punk works well too. Or anything chaotic
Its like when two waves crash into each other they cancel out. My brain is one chaotic wave, dingy punk is the other.
Gore grind is crust on steroids. Give Brilliant Behemoth a go. Or JigAi. Or even Last Days of Humanity
I'm penchant to Bone Dirger when Gore becomes too much. Try the Fateful Five mix, or take Monty's Ghost for a whirl
I can't resolve that to any music. If it is, please give links, I'm intrigued.
No, I just wanted to join in the shop talk
Phew. For some time I thought I went Google illiterate.
anything chaotic
Most of the time I'll have an earworm song in my head... but the thing is it's usually not alone.
Anything can be chaotic enough if you mash up enough different songs together at the same time.
That's why I like grindcore...and crustpunk and pretty much any cacophony fun times
She would if she had robot ears.
I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.
There are memes I've been wanting –but unready!– to post for literal years.
You're not alone there!
Ah yes, hacking by self medicating.
Adhd and drinking amounts of caffeine that would explode a gorilla's heart. Name a more iconic duo
It's so specific it's mean.
My brand of neurospicey has a heavy musical lean to it. I wanted to be a school music director at one point. Took years and years of classes but it wasn't in the cards. I can't listen to music now, without directing it in my head or drumming out the beat. The more chaotic and out there, the more i focus on the music and not what im supposed to be doing. For me, its got to be chill lofi or jazz or nothing at all.
I cannot listen to music and do anything but listen to music. So, to feed the ADHD, I play rain sounds, Blade Runner Sci-fi atmosphere sounds, airport control tower, police radio firefighter radio, all at the same time, so I hear speech but it is impossible for me to understand what people say and focus on it.
You're going to be deaf by 35.
I'm 39 and still not deaf.
Your move.
WHAT?
Hehe, seems the deafness did get you, though!
Ooh, I must try this.... Maybe not so loud though
Mind your eardrums.
This, but I’m building a bocce ball court in the back yard to get closer to the plants I need to repot but it’s giving me anxiety because there’s so many. So instead I dig a hole in the yard 40x10 while blasting Pheobe Bridgers
As soon as I blast heavy metal in my headset I get into the zone. Great for getting shit done, bad for my hearing.
WHAT?!
I've recently found using my Skullcandy crushers to play music in a manner that would make a nightclub blush while studying can keep me from constantly looking around at everything but what I'm studying
Replace music with audiobook/comedy-recording and watch my house get tidy.
Watch out for the tinnitus, static
Ugh....the bane of my existence. Use earplugs kids
This is me. Lots of very loud music in my past and now at 51 I still have surprisingly good hearing (can hear those anti-teen mosquito speakers if I'm close-ish) but the tinnitus gets wild sometimes. Luckily for me it works like white noise when I need to sleep. Bonus!
I used to listen to Meshuggah at full volume to fall asleep. My roomate thought I was crazy but polyrhythms soothe my savage brain.
For me it's Japanese Club Music.
EDM (chill stuff), lofi, jpop and city pop
Not working is (hard) rock, edm (more intense), rap and jpop.
Usually work is less lyrical or even fully instrumental vs free time is more attention grabbing stuff :)
You can work with music on??
Almost playing continously at work
What kind of unit of measurement is a Europe per Berlin?
my fellow americans: "Sounds pretty awesome, and so fancy and European. Throw it on the pile with all the other imperial units!"
I am literally doing this now, are we really all the same?
Considering you're fucking around on Lemmy while writing that email... yes.
TIL it's an ADHD thing, huh
