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

When I'm in full execution mode, music definitely helps... except for writing since it's often interfering with my flow :)

Can't work without it! Right now I'm in a grime phase (not to be confused with Grimes)
All the way. I listen to a wide range of music though. From different sorts of background scores to songs, I just go bonkers. haha
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!
Helps a lot;)

40 hz sound works the best for me đź’ˇ
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.

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.
Definitely, I was just saying to my friends and colleagues the other day how I couldn’t live without spotify

Yes, absolutely! But only if the music is without lyrics.
Regardless of the music having lyrics or not, anything I am already quite familiar with doesn’t distract me. Wouldn’t try listening to some new artists/albums though
It does the exact opposite
It does but has to be soothing/gentle

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.

Headphones and music are core necessities to do my day to day job!
Only when it's blocking out other sounds! (like working in an busy public place or with lots of distractions around)
If it is like low fi or instrumental music!
