For me, it's sorting through clean laundry. It takes forever so music keeps me focused.

Cooking. Everyone knows: When there's a dance party going on in the kitchen mealtime is coming.

Coding. I need to get into the "zone" where I just type it all out and that somehow doesn't work in complete silence.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Working out. I hate the silence otherwise, usually podcasts or music depends on mood and exercise.

Fill in the blank: I cannot complete the task(s) of __________ without listening to music.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Meta. Spooky.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Anything. Music makes everything easier to do for some reason

Shopping, especially when walking to the supermarket.

Going for a walk in general, actually.

Runnngi / jogging

Taking any form of public transportation. The sheer noise and bustle is way too much for me without headphones and a good playlist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly don't mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can't think of a thing I need music for, but if you mean you can't do it WELL without music than I say cardio.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Housework, I want something energetic.

Showering, I want something emotional.

Marking Essays, I want something instrumental.
