Kpop burns my soul.

I listen to pretty upbeat techno, alterna-rock, classic rock, disney music (hakuna matata is the best song ever when you're smashing in a zerg's face) and most importantly, ska and punk.

Streams that have kpop immediately get turned off. The one exception is Rainbow, but that's because he trolls so hard it's epic fun to watch.

When I started listening to music when playing, I was skeptical and felt it had to be something without lyrics and a fairly fast beat, so I stuck to only Apocalyptica, Escala and similar. But as time has passed, I can now listen to pretty much anything and play at the same level. It doesnt affect me as long as I enjoy the music...
If I try to play without music, things to to hell. I can't really explain why...

Best music for me is still most lighter metal genres, as it's what I enjoy the most in general and it has fairly fast beats.

Disney music in general I find great for Playing SC, but I particularly enjoy the Pirates of the Carribbean soundtracks composed by Hans Zimmer. TLO listens to them alot while laddering, it's just such epic music.

People have different opinions. Who would have thought?

Holy shit people love K-Pop and Pop... can't understand that.

I'm listening to nothing or dubstep. It's a habit because back in the days when Idra streamed a lot more I would listen to his music and automatically make a connection between dubstep and good, solid play. ^^ But from time to time I refuse to listen any music simply because it can affect your play by missing nukes (how many drones had to die because of my music...) and stuff like that.

I've noticed that when I play I don't even know which song I'm listening to.

Yes I do listen to music while playing, electro industrial / industrial metal / alternative metal, gives a kick to press them buttons faster heh, however when I focus more on the game, I completely don't know which song is playing...

TL's kpop bias showing, and I have no problems with this... </im so looonely> It was a dead-end poll anyways, basically "what's your favorite genre to play SC2 to?" mostly regardless of race. Not like a race has an objective musical personality, etc

e.g. I listen to what do you even classify this as; Terran

also, elevator music

I used to play with loud music, then i got nuked in my mineral line. After that i play with low music in the background so i can hear the nuke warnings. I am to used to SC/BW way of getting a nuke warning with a text, the symbols that is now i never see.

Usualy i listen to WhiteRA's Partymix (i like it) but sometimes i listen to Synth/Goth/Metal

i listen to film music only
cannot stand metal, and other genres i like (rock, funk, 70's, classic etc) just either are too distracting or too annoying over time to listen to
but this thread rather seems like a troll thread to me, since there is only music listed in the poll that i cannot stand.

When I play faster music I often get higher apm but that causes me to make dumb mistakes and lose more often.

When I listen to classic music or no music at all I am winning much more since I am able to think more clearly and focus on what my opponent is doing, what should I be doing etc. Of course my multitask is not that much greater but I win more still.

Well when I play I don't notice the song I'm listening so I listen to certain type of classical music or trance.

Genre depending on race sounds pretty stupid btw.
