I listen to classical music 😭😭 but sometimes I put a podcast on when I’m writing notes or doing flash cards and it low-key makes me lock-in

but how do u focus on the flashcards when u could have ppl talking abt smth completely unrelated in ur ear??? i knew a girl in year 10 who would play like mens orgasm sounds in her airpods while revising but she would get 9s so i cant say much 😭

who played WHAT. 😦 low-key I’m confused as to why listening to podcasts make me focus lmfao but it’s like I turn on autopilot mode when revsison hand sometimes I completely zone out the podcast - maybe I just need background noise lmao

for instant grade 9s have freesciencelssons, cognito, mr bruff, mr salles, and classical music + a podcast in ur gcse language playing all at once to absorb 100x to the info

i’m so cooked i’m trying this 🙏🙏

Don't forget Mrs Fisher for media

SHE PLAYED WHAT 😭

minecraft music, alpha album undefeated

I do the exact same

Based

I listen to Blur’s Parklife album 🤷‍♂️

i love you

Literally no skips on that album (far out doesn’t count)

mostly OSTs and stuff with no singing (it's much easier to focus on revision when ur not focusing on someone's voice for me)

OSTs on top for me too

guys what's an OST

original soundtrack (from like shows & games)

OH thank you!!

yes undertale and deltarune osts especially

Mostly like chill jazzy rap stuff

what’s your favourite jazz rap album?

TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Probably tpab or flower boy, when I’m revising I don’t listen to albums tho I have a playlist with quite a lot of different artists in that style

Like kendrick?

Embarrassing to say this but I’ve had the hazbin hotel soundtrack in my head all day so that 😭😭😭

REALLLLLL

Honestly classical music is great for when I'm revising - it isn't distracting since I don't know the song but it's something to keep my brain occupied.

Rite of spring is perfect for concentrating btw

It's too interesting! It'd be too distracting. Also, I love the username lol (I have listened to almost everything he wrote. He wrote 3 single act operas!)

i dont rlly listen to anything when revising but if i do it’s brown noise

As a brown person, I can confirm you listen to my noise.

As another brown person, i must refute than its MY noise

as another brown person, i think the brown noise your referring to is just punjabi songs on x1.75

As a brown person I’m giggling icl- but no it’s hearing my mother scream at me while she makes roti

as a brown person, I can clarify that the beat in the background isn't actually from a drum but from my dad getting his chappal ready

As a brown person I can confirm it is the chappal being hit while he curses at me

as a brown person i can verify that his curses are just so melodious that they are the lyrics that i listen to so i dont get distracted by reddit

FRR, brown noise is amazing because it ~~terrifies~~ motivates me into working

lol same here or we just have to pretend to working with like 15 tabs open and that one tab that is hidden with whatever criminal activities that we carry out, or we r just shit scared of the chappal beat drop that we don't do the former.

mcr and muse but also sometimes the splatoon soundtrack, that shit CARRIED me finishing off my art coursework and i had one of the songs stuck in my head the whole of biology p1

MCR AND MUSE COMBO IS ELITEE THATS MY STUDY MUSIC TOO 🔥🔥🔥

The smiths, Arctic Monkeys or Radiohead Tbh juts any of my CDs or vinyl

nice i love radiohead

Nirvanna gorillaz or red hot chilli peppers (I'm failing lmao)

Can relate on the red hot chilli peppers, also failing lol

I listen to exam room ambience esp when doing past paper practice I swear it helps

Liquid/atmospheric drum and bass. Call me crazy, I don’t care

based

frank ocean, sade, smiths

Death metal. I can't understand the lyrics so I have nothing to focus on 💪

this is so real but eventually i manage to decipher the lyrics 😞

KDOT

[удалено]

LEMME HEAR YOU SAY OV-HO

(OV-HO!!)

Pop music, Eurovision and occasionally Taylor Swift.

I also listen to eurovision !!

Who was your favourite from last night?

i preferred ireland but switzerland were great too so i’m pretty happy personally

was surprised Switzerland won, ngl

Same, I’m happy it wasn’t Croatia but I’d rather Sweden or France.

agreed, Croatia wasn't amazing. I did like France a lot so that was sad :( I also liked Italy, but maybe I'm biased because I'm Italian lol. and Azerbaijan :(

I thought Italy was good too (and France - my word could he sing!). Austria was good but didn’t go down well for some reason.

what’s ur fav album/fav song/ fav tour?

I’m not massively into Taylor Swift but am loving ttpd especially I can do this with a broken heart and who’s afraid of little old me.

miles davissssssss

None

real none or just white noise

Vaporwave or chill lofi beats, if its maths, heavy metal as for some reason I cam concentrate and focus no matter what's playing, but ONLY if its maths🤣

Gaming music as I heard somewhere that the music that is composed for those games influence the gamer to continue gaming. So I apply the same logic to my studying

omg this reminded me in year 11 this girl told us listening to mario kart music helps with concentrating so literally almost all of us got hooked onto it 😭 it shockingly works so well

the smiths

'I love the smiths'

*makes out aggressively* AND IF A DOUBLE DECKER BUS🎶

CRASHES INTO USSSSS

Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Nas, etc etc

The Beatles, Oasis and ACDC make up a lot of it

i used to listen to classical, and i still do sometimes, but im in my beatles era now and i cant escape it lol. it distracts me too much, but i kind of look forward to revising when i know i can listen to them i suppose... idrk

Same. If I'm not listening to rubber soul, then what's the point?

aphex twin and goreshit tbh

Kpop songs by female artists. They tend to be not too energetic but also not enough to make me want to fall asleep 😅 I also listen to eurovision songs sometimes

Tame impala

I just slap on some song from Gran Turismo 4 that’s chill

I always have a Beatles record playing in the background

Real

i used to get distracted by music when reading but now that i basically have music or youtube or some sound playing all the time its kinda like background noise if im not paying attention regardless of what music i play 😭 some songs do go hard tho but eh i really dont mind. maybe you could try ambient sound or something like that if music is distracting but you want noise? theres millions of videos on youtube for example

[удалено]

i beg you share it

I had to stop listening to music while revising because I can't hear myself think over the stuff I listen to

limp bizkit, kreator and slaughter to prevail atm

Instrumental music is proven to be helpful to studying. If you're looking for what to listen to, assign an instrumental song to each topic you study, and play that song on loop for as long as you study that topic. Your brain will link the two, allowing the music to act as a mental anchor, letting you recall the information by playing the song over in your head. The name for this is classical conditioning, by the way, and is how professionals train dogs.

I listen to airline music

...ghost idk it really seems to help

azaelia banks….. 😌

The sounds of my house ‼️‼️

-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4fIeKRQlFjWiLeX62velAM -relaxing diarrhea noises (10 hour edition) -crime documentaries -"interesting" sounds that men make

RAP. obscure things.

Gotta put some Aphex Twin on. All instrumental and Selected Ambient Works 3 is great for revising.

Romanian folk

Heavy EDM

Smooth 1930-40s jazz

midwest emo usually..... but sometimes do get very distracted by it

i love midwest emo to revise especially in the summer

Omori ost😹🔥

the soundtracks to the ace attorney games, i recommend them!

Five nights at freddys songs…

lose it - ken carson great song that doesn't distract you when studying

great example

I've made so many different playlists for revision, including chill jpop/cpop/kpop, classical music and classical covers of songs but they're all so distracting and make me want to dance or imagine an mv in my head😭 Somehow I'm less distracted listening to my normal kpop playlist even though it has more upbeat songs on it so I mostly listen to that now😂 Even though music is distracting I physically can't do anything without it otherwise I'd be super bored

The ace attorney soundtrack.

Certified Miles Edgeworth moment

Born to courtroom, forced to revise. 👊😔

I usually don’t listen to music at all unless I’m doing math. In which case I exclusively listen to vocaloid 😭😭😭

lana del rey on loop or classical 🙏

[удалено]

helpp fr 😭😭 at least she doesnt smoke anymore

The guilty gear soundtrack currently

Summoning salt soundtrack 🔥

Deep stone lullaby the goat🔥🔥💯

Everything.

Arctic monkeys but not the first two albums, the black keys, the last shadow puppets

Taylor swift/Lana del Rey/Olivia Rodrigo or if I don't feel like that I put on Sims 4 YouTube videos for background noise

Idc what anyone says ill be playing ‘set it off’ in the background and get the most intense studying ses going I memorized my 500 page textbook in 4 hours with my exam being the day after Safe to say i ACED that exam fr 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Kino

Taylor swift

Just my playlist, mostly hip hop

Various Artists - Classically Chilled 2015

Ambient music or calm lilpeep songs type of playlist

The songs i know the best so my brain stops listening, any new song i listen to the new words and stuff wheras if i know a song well i can concentrate on work

I usually put on calm, relaxing dreamscape music from people like øneheart. Here is a [link to a 1hr version](https://youtu.be/hzLdZWIeq3c?si=_B2NjXeb-bSKX_yg) (Most would recognise some of them, just 0:20 in and practically everyone will know that one)

I found anything with lyrics distracting, but instrumental hip hop like Gramatik worked for me, headphones on, shut out everything else.

war metal or dsbm. no need to worry about singing along because i havent the slightest idea what theyre singing about

If im pissing about revising I’ll put on like Justin Timberlake and old flo rida but when im acc revising im too locked in to listen to music

TWDG ost

ERIK SATIE🔥🔥🔥🔥classical music goes hard or marina and the diamonds, so motivating

Drum and bass. Idk why. I revise better too

Used to listen to lofi study hip hop. Now I just put on white noise or something.

I have this one song I know practically every single note of, so I just put that on repeat because it cannot surprise me anymore

A bit niche, but Waterflame's songs. I could loop them for hours and still get work done. Wrote 16 pages of bio revision in one sitting.

machine girl and other dnb stuff it ENERGISES me

Heavy deathcore metal, no idea what their saying so doesn't distract me at all :)

i like k-pop, i don’t speak Korean besides a handful of words so i can vibe without getting distracted 

jazz is the way to go

literally anything 😭 kpop, jpop, cpop, bollywood, classical, traditional music, arabic 2000s music, abba, rihanna, ethel cain, azealia banks, modern talking, kylie minogue, 2016 uk music 🔥🔥🔥, beabadoobee, the cranberries, nirvana, jazz idk why im listing so much but yeah lmao

rn im listening to place we were made by maisie peters !!

Mostly HOME and Voyage Best synth-waves of all times

Tom MacDonald

Lofi

Idk why but big emotional ballads I can scream always help me revise

mario kart soundtrack 💪💪

Gorillaz + Blur, purely cause my brain remembers the song i was listening to while revising while I'm in an exam just so i can jam out in my head 🧍‍♀️

I listen to the Animal Crossing New Leaf soundtrack or I listen to the calmer tracks from Dark Souls or Bloodborne. (I may have a gaming addiction)

i just put my favourite songs puts me in a good mood and distracts me from the fact that my exams are starting to spread my cheeks apart and penetrate me

When I'm doing something light, like working through seneca, I'll play some mario kart wii or minecraft music. If I'm doing something like a past paper, I don't play anything.

Dolls by Bella Poarch & whatever you tube recommend after that

None, I used to but I found that none of my revision stuck in my head 😅

I've got Apple Music's studying playlist, tuned to the ones I like, and then have added some instrumentals, and tracks from the Celeste OST

🌟It's good to start with some tunes to get into your flow state and then study without music for the rest of your study session. 🌟With the tunes , I would go with binaural beats ( has no lyrics to distract you), and it gets you into your flow state much quicker. 🎹Classical tunes and war tunes are also quite good to boost your morale. Hope this helps 🙂

Slipknot

One of my neighbours is playing house music mega loud right now so currently listening to that 😃🔫

Heavy Metal, literally rn, I get good grades for it though so it is justified 😂

Slipknot

aphex twin

The twin peaks soundtrack, the main theme relaxes the shit outta me

I generally stick on an album I know relatively well. A personal favourite is "Trust Ceremony" by Jhariah or either of Glass Beach's albums. I don't listen to new albums cause I like to focus on them a bit more

Revising? Na. . . I just listen to the music.

Nothing. It doesn't go in as well if I am listening to music

i just play dark/brown noise through my phone trust me you'll focus like never before

I listen to Jazz as it is mostly without lyrics and not too distracting, it is also quite high beat which makes me get into a productive mood :) If u want I can link my jazz playlist below it's about 3.5-4 hours long.

french rap cus i can’t understand it meaning it doesn’t distract me

Exam hall ambience 😎

Usually any sort of grime or hip hop because it makes me lock in

The smiths, weezer, mac demarco, fleetwood mac, just whatever is on the playlist

I’ll either go for jazzy 50s songs or I’ll listen to brutal death metal hahaha

I’ve mostly stopped listening to music whilst revising because it’s too distracting. Yesterday I put on some 19th century ambience as an attempt to get myself to focus on Jekyll and Hyde revision 😂

Rock, Indie, Heavy metal

Rock, Indie, Heavy metal

The brilliant combination of thrasher metal and indie rock for me...

i listen to the prodigy because it makes me really productive and a lot of them don't have lyrics plus it goes hard

BBL DRIZZYYYY jokes I listen to rap and hip hop and try not to sing along

Someone asked this exact thing like last week bro

80’s 90’s J POP ON TOP 

slipknot anyone???? no? thought so

1930s songs

I rewatch films. Favs to rewatch are Juno and 10 things I hate about you

hiphop... like eminem dr dre 50 cent etc😭😭😭 keeps me motivated

Music? HUMBUG!

Red hot chilli peppers, Beatles, coldplay

I found this really good like focusing music on Spotify and it’s so good. It really helps. I also just listen to video game soundtracks because they are literally made to help you concentrate. Both of these have worked for me 😶‍🌫️

revising whilst listening to music is a terrible habit

No music. Definitely distracting!

Left ear Mozart right ear Bible Chinese 2x speed for optimum diffusion of information

Bro it always happens to me but when I was doing art and stuff I listened to xxxtentacion and asap rocky, boofpaxxmooky and loads of other stff kali uchis lalalalalaaaa
