I usually just play a game OST.
To this day I still use the classic LoFi Girl channel.
I loop random video game songs from my youth
Metal. Anything metal.
But lately I’ve been going through Chevelle, album-by-album. They are one of my all-time favorite bands though, so that helps.

My curated playlist of entirely “nerdcore”, which is music inspired by (but not directly from), anime and video games.
Not music, but I really like coffee shop noises if I’m struggling to focus up. Random barista sounds, indiscernible chatter, light but pleasant clinking of spoons and cups. There are YouTube & podcast channels that have like 8 hours solid.
You guys can concentrate?! 🤨
Joking aside though, I find it more difficult to concentrate with music on, unless the task is something that grabs my focus anyway. I’m waiting on a diagnosis, but it feels like it’s either the autistic side not liking the distraction, or the ADHD side focusing on the wrong thing 😫
What kind of music it is definitely makes a difference for me. Sometimes if I need to focus really hard, I have to turn on something instrumental otherwise I’ll get distracted by the lyrics/singing along in my head.
I play either the Deus Ex UNATCO Theme Extended or the extended map theme from Mass Effect on repeat
Edit to add that after 15 or 20 minutes I’m zoned in and forget the music is playing
Not a playlist but if I need to tune out the outside world and my own brain, I usually go for psytrance. It’s stupid and repetitive enough not to grab my attention, but varied enough I don’t bore out.
I also tried techno/schranz but it’s too repetitive, and I enjoy synthwave too much to focus.
Is there an artist I should look for?
Not to be disparaging but… most psytrance sounds the same. Any 24/7 radio should do the trick.
I do however have recommendations for synthwave
Plz
Carpenter Brut and Perturbator are amongst my favorite artists. OG French synthwave projects along with Kavinsky, but darker and more aggressive than most.
Mega Drive is always a safe bet, along with Dance with the Dead, Laserpunk or DEADLIFE.
For a more '80s-pop sound, you might enjoy Fury Weekend.
Not synthwave by very adjacent, I’m a huge fan of Master Boot Record and Keygen Church (same guy), but it’s more metal but played by a SoondBlaster 16 sound card from the '90s.
Excellent recommendations here. I’d add Magic Sword, Thomas Barrandon, and Daniel Deluxe to go with these.
