Mainly black and old school death metal. Also some ambient and contemporary classical.

Mostly golden age hip hop, metal and its various subgenres (heavy metal, doom metal, death metal etc), classic rock, indie, post-hardcore, and pop-punk

Mostly:

Halftime and future bass, stuff like ivy labs and mad Zach, and two fingers

90s alternative like pixies, nirvana, aic.

30s and 40s jazz and blues

I’m an open format DJ, so I listen to everything except Hick Hop, and that annoying sub-genre of electronic music that consists of little more than someone repeating the same word or phrase over a simple drum beat. Have no idea what it’s called, but kids under 30 seem to love it and I just don’t understand why.

Either https://musicforprogramming.net/ , some vaporwave, some really extreme/cavernous death metal or noise rock. Free jazz. Possibly some instrumental kraut rock if I feel like it, the motorik beat is great for focus.

I usually don’t, which is completely sacrilegious as a musician, but I’d rather be playing it myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If I do bother, it is usually Broadway (have not seen that here yet!), the pop music of my childhood, classical, classic rock, or anything I have ever performed before. Around Christmastime I have a dedicated Christmas playlist which is just Christmas songs.

50/50 if I can have music on while programming. Sometimes it becomes background noise, sometimes my brain starts focusing hard on the music and I need to not have that.

Hardstyle, (Electronic) Hardcore, DnB, Trance. Don’t really mind metal etc either, but I generally don’t listen to it myself. Most pop music bores me because it’s too slow. I need speed and intensity but I don’t really mind repetition.

I feel like it’s very varied, but I’m not one to listen to metal or much rock. What I listen to changes from time to time.

I know the meme/prejudice of programmers listening to metal, and having long hair. I can’t say I’ve ever felt like it was confirmed or justified. But it’s not like I have that much exposure or insight to many either.

I’m not even sure I can list genres; I feel like it’d be too many and unspecific anyway. Chillhop, chillsynth, hip-hop, deep house, some pop, some german and japanese music, some chiptune, some classics of the last century; some are shared on https://soundcloud.com/kissaki

I listen to DJ sets from DJs of São Paulo mainly (I’m living in São Paulo now), because I like to know the local techno scene. The main genres that I like are Funk (from São Paulo, check out DJ Bonekinha Iraquiana), electro (check out Cashu), techno (check out Kontronatura) and some house (check out DJ Bassan and Delcu)

I mostly listen to powermetal, symphonic metal and some rock. But I’m no programmer, I’m a sysadmin.

When programming I tend to like music that is instrumental, like synthwave and chiptunes, as well as some light on vocals trip hop and industrial. I can listen to rock and metal too, but it tends to grab my attention more than I like when I am trying to get in the zone.

Good Kid, Phoneboy, Chappell Roan, Charlie XCX, Andrew Garden, Landon Conrath, Mickey Darling, Kevin Walkman, Troye Sivan, Boygenius

I think those are the main ones. Also “Halloween” by Novo Amor is a banger

Techno, dubstep, various game OST’s, some metal, orchestral, and various pop songs my partner turned me on to. Quite a few touhou remixes too.
