Love anime OSTs, but sometimes they're too distracting when I'm trying to focus! The epic battle themes don't exactly scream 'study time.' What non-anime music do you listen to that helps you concentrate? Lo-fi beats, classical, game OSTs, anything goes!
Lately, I've been hooked on instrumental jazz fusion. It's complex enough to be interesting but doesn't have lyrics to pull my focus. Super chill vibes! 🎷
Definitely lofi hip-hop radio on YouTube. It's pretty much a universal study anthem now. Or sometimes just ambient nature sounds like rain or distant thunder.
I often put on classical piano pieces, especially Chopin or Debussy. It's calming and helps me get into a flow state without getting sidetracked by vocals.
Movie soundtracks, ironically! Stuff like the Interstellar or Social Network scores. They're designed to build atmosphere without being center stage.
Video game soundtracks from non-vocal heavy games like Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing. They're designed to be background music for long play sessions, so perfect for working too!
