What music puts you in a mood - and which do you prefer?

[Keegs]

For me it's lofi, in the very beginning, as a child I didn't care for music and was getting sick of all the radio songs repeating and all the hip hop, pop stuff. My friend listened to quite a bit of vocaloid songs and I became a weeb after a bit of time, then two years pass. Discovered dubstep, got over that and found some electronic - Daft Punk, then I moved on some more couple of years and found Russian Hardbass, which I still love very much, then finally landed on lofi which was when I was sleeping in a car.

Usually lofi puts me in a heavy thinking state, where I just think real deep or get all depressed because of life and all that fun stuff, but it is also very calming. I prefer the more downcast, sad-ish lofi over poppin' ones.

How about you?

This is probably weird to say...But I listen to the FF14 Music to get into any project I'm working on. Like have you ever heard the Amh Araeng theme music? Such a soothing mix between calming and upbeat...and don't get me started with songs like the Twinning! Oh my god it's so good.

I like emotionally uplifting music. I don't care what if it is anime music, game ost, or else. It usually puts me in the mood when doing something tedious. But if something requires deep thinking, I prefer silence.

I've moved this thread to General Lounge. Thank you.

This is weird but...I listen to Boss/final boss themes, I know they're not very relaxing to people but there relaxing to me [I feel like I could let the boss hit me over and over and I would not give a care]

 

[Jammythewerewolf]

I love musical theatre inspired songs, a lot of rock, or anything written by Jim Steinman. Gets me in a weird kind of 'mellow, but inspired' sort of mood most of the time, some of the more upbeat songs make me excited to get some work done.

 

[SentakuX]

J-rock and metalcore is what I usually listen to whenever I'm working on something. For some reason it's weirdly motivating and inspiring. I'm probably just weird or somethin'.
That, or just visual novel music.

I just got JDB artist's madness vol2 from the humble store.
Now, I am under some weird madness influence.

Y'all, I just discovered GXSCC. So right now what puts me in the mood is FAMICOM BUXTEHUUUUUUUDE!

While mapping (fantasy RPG), I always like to listen to Norse/Celtic music or the maps BGM I've chosen for it.

 

[Azurose]

Lofi and synthwave for me, as well. It helps me focus more.

Kudos to the FF14 mention, though. The OST for that game is just phenomenal, and I often find myself listening to it whenever I wanna hype myself up

 

[SoftCloud]

I like to listen to a lot of cinematic, ambient, and game soundtrack music. Sometimes I switch it up to help with the mood of the game/scene. :3

Lately a lot of Borderlands music and Fallout 76

I like different kind of music. I guess it all depends on my mood. For example this weekend I was listening to Latino music a lot while cleaning my property in Spain and today I prefer AC/DC, the opposite...

 

[AlexCaffe]

My playlist depends on the mood and circumstances in which I listen to music. If I work in a workshop it is 100% rock music. If I work on a computer, then this is relaxing music.

 

[Jeallom]

I usually listen to Imagine dragons

Have you listened to this song of theirs? Love this one.

 

[AeroPergold]

Jack Stauber, intros and outros to old Boomer anime (Like Urusei Yatsura) and early 2000's techno music like Darude and DJ Alice or anything you could find in a period accurate DDR machine.

 

[toast-music]

Bal-Sagoth. That stuff puts me in a good mood and something similiar could absolutely work in a RPG Maker game.
(Mods, don´t freak out, that is an official upload.)

I'm super eclectic with my music taste, I'm pretty much open to anything! But I do have some favourites
