Well, music does affect my playing.
Makes it worse. I'm not focusing on the game as much, because some of the focus is on the music. Kind of similar to how I really can't listen to music while I'm reading. I read the words but if you ask me after 5 minutes any specific questions on what I just read, I couldn't tell you. It's especially bad with music I like, I just listen and go on some kind of brainless auto-pilot for anything else I'm doing.

I really need music when I play, or some kind of sound, it can be a movie on my 2nd monitor, a youtube clip or just the raido. I don't know why but I need some kind of sound, otherwise it feels really weird.

I don't play 1v1 ladder with music but i do often play on the other ladders with music. I don't know if it makes me play worse but i'm not taking any risks

I personally listen to music while playing, and to Sergio1992 yes sometimes when the game ends I will be like "When did this song start?" near the end of it. Get so focused I don't even hear it.

I mainly listen to Goregrind/Death Metal while playing.

I really enjoy Cannibal Corpse, Skinless, Devourment, Fuck..I'm Dead, Funeral Rape, and I could go on for hours. While playing a game and destroying people. But I also like to listen to Necro, Circle of Tyrants, Bloodline, and Ill Bill. That Death Rap mixed in with Death metal and the occasional Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time songs.<3 Zeldas Lullaby and pretty much anything on it. Also a ton of Mindless Self Indulgence. I'm not a fan of that style of music but I just love them. I don't feel that the pace of the music has anything to do with how well I play or how fast. Its just music.

But I love nothing more than to play while listening to Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face. Has been my favorite song to game to for the past 5 years, and will continue to do so. Also when I used to play Call of Duty 4 I listened to Suicide Silence, and Dr.Acula a bit but haven't really since I started Starcraft2.

I have one Dubstep; Skillrex - I want to kill everybody, Lets see I like listening to Cocorosie - Werewolf to start a game off since its slow.

I got a little Deathcore which is just Emmure, and 1 Suicide Silence song. As Deathcore is to slow and boring for me, and its not 'brutal' what-so-ever. And I tend to enjoy brutal things.

Why didn't the poll have 'Metal'? I mean I've seen a few others in this thread post Metal genres and I would've voted if there was a Metal choice in the poll. Because I don't listen to anything posted for the most part, Maybe a song here and there but that is about it.

I listen to a very wide range of music types while playing. It's not so much the type of music that is important to me, it just has to be something that I enjoy. I feel like it helps me relax, and be able to focus more.

I used to go with dubstep, but I've started to listen to calmer music instead. While dubstep might be beneficial to your apm, calm music helps a lot with anxiety if you have any form of ladder fear. It keeps your adrenaline from getting the best of you and calms your rage.

i listen music to break the silence. life is boring and music makes it more enjoyable. i dont think i play better or worse when listening i think it comes down to the habbit.

i listen to radio paradise. check it out guys if youre into goooood solid music. i even listen to this at my work and all my coworkers love it. i just feel the need to share this. i know it sounds silly but good music can do alot for you and if you have a bit of taste left after crushing your senses with modern dumbstep please give it a try. maybe takes some hours to adjust your brain to good taste :D

i fucking love this radio so much :>

How about separate the music preference by skill?

I'm diamond, and dont listen to music while playing, but I like rock in general.

I don't think that specifically the genre of music is going to affect your play.

It should be more so the music you enjoy the most will affect your gameplay.

I listen to A state of trance when I play, and I play T and Z.

I don't think if I take a break from trance and listen to dubstep this will change the outcome of any of my games.
If it comes down to you or them, send flowers.

I paced music helps me concentrate, once I am in the zone/concentrated however I completely forget about the music and won't even notice when it stops. However if I notice the music stopped or its play a slow beat it bothers me.

Liquid DnB is quite good for laddering as it soothes yourself when your adrenaline levels starts to rise up.

Hmm... I find that when I play to songs I like I do better, whereas if I play to songs I don't, I play worse.

So I went through my entire iTunes library and rated every song, now I play on "Top Rated" with shuffle on, seems to work for me anyway. So it doesn't matter the genre, just if I like the songs I'm listening to or not.

I feel like these questions are kinda of wierd.. Like what does being protoss or teran have to do with what music we listen to, based on results overall most gamers regardless of race listen to kpop. The question should just say.. " What music do you listen to"
Unless you were trying to find out if there is any difference that may differ by race personality wise.
