Coding while listening to music?

Have you ever tried listening to music while coding? do you believe that doing this will help you become more creative and focused? I would like to hear your thoughts about this.

I used to listen to classical music when coding, but now I listen to music that I create myself. A few months back I bought FL Studio 12 and have been teaching myself to make music with it. The fruits of that labor are what I listen to when I code something.

The Samsung Norway one though😂😂😂

And you changed your username @Duthomhas! Haven't seen you on forums in a while, nice to see you back!

While coding, I usually just turn on the radio and listen to whatever's on it.

I used to listen to music with a driving beat to keep me up and coding but I found that I started listening more to the music than concentrating on what I was doing.

I now, if it is too quite, just listen to incidental music, Traditional Japanese Music, or even recordings of nature. I like stuff that fades into the background as I find the sound of silence deafening.

i listen to dubstep mixes set to a low volume, keeps you energetic, but doesn't distract you.

Mr. BossMan sama senpai doesn't care if I've got my headphones in all day, and I have google play all access, so I've gone through a shit load of music while I program.

I've recently discovered that Retro Wave is friggin perfect for coding to.

Yeah, I decided I want the correct spelling, LOL. And yeah, I know I missed quite a few old threads, just picked the top few Google hits.

Also, you might want to add that at least one of those links is NSFW pics.

@Duthomhas No, everything I create [both music and code] is just for me so I have never published anything I've created.
