I can safely say for myself: yes, it does (although only some specific genres). What about you? Which music do you prefer?

I actually can't get much done without listening to music. It's become a habit, but then again I listen A LOT of music in general, so for me it works.

For me, as a designer, it even helps me work better :)
40 hz sound works the best for me 💡
Helps a lot;)
It does the exact opposite
It does but has to be soothing/gentle
Only when it's blocking out other sounds! (like working in an busy public place or with lots of distractions around)
Yes, absolutely! But only if the music is without lyrics.
Yup, it's a great motivator for me. When I feel unmotivated, I know that popping on my headphones and finding a good tune can get me out of the rut.
For design work, I can listen to anything, but if I'm working on writing or reading, I need it to be without lyrics.
If it is like low fi or instrumental music!
It does, instrumental or ambient music often works best for maintaining focus.
It depends on the mood. But if I need extreme concentration then I need silence for this.
No. I prefer working in silence.
Yes! I will sometimes put on an album and listen to it from start to finish, and I set a goal for myself to focus for the entire duration of the album. Did this recently with a Death Grips album, which I know may not be everyone's work cup of tea, but if you want something to hype you up to get through afternoon slumps then 10/10 recommend.
Can't work without it! Right now I'm in a grime phase (not to be confused with Grimes)
Headphones and music are core necessities to do my day to day job!
Earlier I used to listen to this coding music it should help me focus because it was a gaming music and game music are supposed to help you focus and play games and they are addictive
give it a try you will find the difference as well!
Yes! We are listening to Eminem right now while pinging our communities.
