I still my love my lofi hip-hop or jazz when studying - classic! But my favourite is video game music - DESIGNED to help concentrate your playing and put you in the mood. I've been trying to compose/produce some of these genres myself in my spare time!
@@sleepydude2398 A few of my top picks (I like indie games!): Journey (Grammy nominated!!), Gris, Braid, Celeste, Bastion, Transistor, Minecraft, Fez, Superbrothers Sword & Sworcery, piano tracks from the Legend of Zelda series... mostly orchestral stuff with a few synthy bits thrown in
As someone who hates lo-fi music BECAUSE of the beats, I rely like the idea of using sounds like storms or white sounds. First makes me think like im in the atmosphere perfect(for me) for studying. And second just doesn't disturb
*"Life is much simpler when you stop explaining yourself to people and just do what works for you."* To literally 1% who saw this comment, I hope you have an amazing day. 🌄
I'm literally that person in the library with headphones on listening to nothing. I just like that it dampens sounds around me and people are less likely to approach me haha
I study without music because I try to recreate exams’ conditions. There are some evidence that shows people are better able to recall information when placed in the same environment where they learned that information
Idk it just feels a bit gloomy when you study without music. I don't mind studying with or without music because sometimes I get distracted by the music. But I am forced to study with music since there's so much background noise (family, building construction near us). For real though, I have no preference, both are good in their own ways imo.
I agree, but for me personally, I'm listening to music to make studying seem more fun/enjoyable and less boring and tedious. It might have a slight negative effect on my ability to recall information, but it could also assist me because I am having more fun and more engaged while preparing.
You'll watch an entire Netflix show even when the first episodes are slow and boring just because someone told you "it gets better." *But what if you looked at your goals like that and watched your life get better instead?*
Binaural Beats are the best, I don't understand it but whenever I listen to it I forgot about everything else around me and don't think about anything. I'm so focused!
Exactly! I discovered binaural beats half a month ago and have been using them for intense study and urgent tasks. Low-fi beats are still my go-to for less demanding schoolwork, but binaural beats are the secret weapon.
I love Chinese classical Guzheng music. Thank you so much for such an informative video. Your strenuous and time heavy efforts are reflected in the high quality, both content and video wise, videos you upload. I apply many of the tips you recommend and I must say, they have brought about quite an improvement in my school life. Thank You!
For me, I listen to library background sounds which immediately puts me into study mode. In that way I trick my brain into thinking I am at a library, which I always used to go to study pre-pandemic, hence I would start studying. Works every single time.
I actually like that idea! That was how I did really well on some of the tutoring sessions in the library. I might try that sometime! Basically, I used to go to the library to get some tutoring for certain classes I was struggling with, and it worked really well!
Frequencies all the way! With a little sprinkle of them dopamine neurotransmitter songs 💗 I love you guys and your content, you have been motivating me throughout grad school thank you!
Ambient Sounds, White Noise, LoFi Beats, Progressive, Binaural Beats - Try all and see which is more motivational and which is more focusing, then decide if you want focus or motivation
Grunge lofi on Spotify has been a blessing in studying. Never thought lo fi versions of nirvana and tool would be a game changer for me. Definitely recommend 10/10
Smooth jazz worked best for me when studying, particularly songs with a lot of clean-toned electric guitar. But after listening to lofi, I wish I had heard more of that genre during my student days.
I use a lot of death metal to study, but I think I end up focusing on the song more than what I'm studying. What helps me tho is listening to instrumental metal like blotted science.
something that works for me--harry potter ambience asmr, edwardian parlour ambience asmr, or just study-with-me videos (real time, no music). since listening to these i've noticed that my studying habits have gotten better, and thus my grades.
Good video game ost: final fantasy series, Zelda series, god of war 4 sound tracks, anime ost, full metal alchemist, lullaby from promised never land, howls castle theme… add on list in comments to help college and uni hommies😎
For me, my top would be: Krnb The calm but happy ballad-like kpop songs OSTs from kdramas and some gaming cdramas For the cdramas, one of the gaming ones (The King's Avatar), I loved the songs they played while the characters were training or playing at a tournament match, so I shazamed the songs, tried playing them while working or reading, and it helped me focus and kept me energized while I was studying or working.
What I listen to depends on my mood 😂. Sometimes it's lofi, binaural beats, cinematic scores, or plain piano. But I can't stand white noise unless I'm not wearing headsets.
Hello mike and matty, For some time I wandered why I was able to focus more at night than day although my whole routine is day-based(idk if that's a valid word but anyway). When you showed white music I found that it's similar to my tinnitus noise. In day time I dont hear this noise bcz of surroundings, but in night I hear this kind of noise and now I think that's what makes me focus more at night(I might be wrong, if I am plz correct me). Do you think I should reschedule my routine to night based? Would be great If I get your reply 😀
In high school, I was a huge Hamilton head, so I would often write my papers to the Hamilton soundtrack and try to finish before 1 or 2 full listens of the album. it always kept me on track
I am in the top 20% of my class, and I just use silence most of the time. I only really use music when there are other sound distractions around me. I just find it easier.
When you were referring to alertness are you also referring to those who have ADHD? Just curious cause I have ADHD and I feel that when I don't have earphones in I sometimes get distracted by anything and everything so I feel really reliant on earphones. You said that it's better that if your easily distracted you recommended listening to nothing.
@baldasianmonk Well, I'm glad i'm not the only one. XD lol My ADHD isn't as severe as some cases yet its still so bad I just need to listen to music. Also if their are other humans around its 20 times worse. I just talk instead of studying as a form of procrastination.
Lofi for me (StudyMD [formerly MDProspect] or LoFi Geek usually) or "study with me" videos - they help me keep time better without me having to set a timer, and encourage me to put my phone somewhere far, far away... the typing sound is also 👌😘

I can't focus while listening to music or sounds while studying no matter what, I need a perfectly quiet environment. Is that common or am I just weird?
Interestingly enough, dnb and techno (my 2 favorite genres) follow this idea that lofi has. They are essentially the same thing but one uses drums and the other uses a synthesizer. They have a very predictable, repeated beat that are easy to follow along to. They block out noise and very good to study with, from my experience. Techno is similar to lofi (depends on the artist) and dnb is usually a little bit faster paced.
I listen to lofi most of the time reading book cause then i am able to set mode according to the mode of the book (romance and lofi just go hand in hand) bird flys higher than moon this is on my my fav lofi give it a try for album chillhop essential summer 2020 they are lit lofi beats
TLDR: White noise causes a 2.5x increase in retention, focus (for ME, probably not you). --- I literally searched for this video because I find that "white noise" helps me study an incredible amount. I mean probably about a 2.5x increase in retention, focus. I find study music leads to about a 1.7x increase in retention, focus. However I'm worried about using it, "being weird", maybe getting hearing damage, or even a dependence on it. Oh also I should clarify I have an ASMR response (it causes mild euphoria, severe sedation), so possibly psychological-audio phenomena are related. I use a "white noise snoring blocker" because it helps me get less distracted, it is truly good for blocking out neighbors partying, parents chatting at dinner, a tree rubbing on the fence in the wind, etc. Though I'm worried about my hearing. The "white noise" I listen to is definitely ""louder"" even when quieter than normal music, it also effects my hearing weirdly. It's like I've gone to a loud concert when I stop it from playing, even at low levels, I don't hurt, but I'm a bit worried. Extra: Tbh I have moderate tinnitus, it's about as loud as a quite conversation, I didn't realize until it was too late, I seem to have acquired it from smashing carboard boxes white stocking groceries. I used to have very sensitive hearing... It's very odd now having so much tinnitus. I thought I would be immune because I was too sensitive to be around loud things. I used to wear earplugs to drown out noise because I was very sensitive, now earplugs make me noticeably irritable because of the ringing after a 20+mins. However short term (0-20mins) they're ok for calming, being overwhelmed by noise. To clarify "white noise" is much better than music for me, but I avoid using it unless I am struggling to start work, it's honestly on-par with my stimulant meds (but obviously I cannot listen to white noise while around people, in class, talking, etc.... Well maybe on a low level, but I AM worried about my hearing even with it on low levels). Perhaps I'm worried about my hearing because of the contrast it provides between my tinnitus and ""silence"" (provided by white noise), so it's not damaging, it just makes returning to normal-mild-tinnitus-life a little overwhelming because I take a while to adjust back to my tinnitus. So I wouldn't actually say it causes hearing damage, but it might be a ""gateway drug"" if you put it up too high.
I love lo-fi music, especially if there is a theme to it (ie: Anime, Ghibli, Video Games). This one may confuse some people; but I dislike any type of 'Jazz' music, especially 'Smooth Jazz'. I really don't like it at all. The Music I actually love is: Ancient, Traditonal, Traditional-Modern, Themed and Ambient sounds. I love sounds that come from traditional instruments from different countries. E.g. Chinese, Japanese Korean, Mongolian, Turkish, European. I love Medieval and Renaissance as well as some Dark Age music.
Seems heavy metal is not a good choice. I listened to Mick Gordon's DOOM soundtrack, Andrew Hulshult's Ancient God soundtrack and the Killing Floor series......a bad idea, it is.
Idk why whaterver music I listen ,wheni started studying I don't hear music I focus strongly on the textbook that after looking away from text after 30 mins I fell so gloomy .
I listen to dark techno, traditional Chinese music, synth wave, magical ambience, cheerful classical music and rock while studying. Binaural beats and lo fi don’t really suits me
I have a particular song loop whoch gets me in the right mood to study, doesn't disturb and I even don't realize I'm actually listening to something. It's a lyrical song, but doesn't bother me bcz of its slow tempo and korean lyrics cuz I don't know korean.
I found for me that actually R&b music works pretty well for me since it doesn‘t distract me that much but still is fun zo listen to. Same with piano versions of my fav songs
i got my best daily routines with a lot of focus until i take a control back from my brain what should i do, i dont even understand whats going on but i had 1 week full of focus and fully gone after 1 week. i feel really different when i was focus but i dont know why that 1 week i was focus and how to get back to the zone
for me its bc im soo sensitive to outside distractions (ADHD) music is key to keep me present and avoid listening to random sounds, instead its just the music
▪︎_Instrumental shoegaze dreampop music_When I need comfort during study. ▪︎_Classical_ when I am have something like copying things down and not using my brain. ▪︎_Saties Gymnopiedes and Clair de Lune_ on loop with rain and fire sounds in the bg. ▪︎_Music Lab Future garage Or work music _ I have 3 playlists in my spotify playlists. And one more similar to that but its an ambient one. ▪︎_Hogwarts or Different Movies/Tv ambience sounds_ ▪︎One podcast I have named AsmrStudy I love it. ▪︎And last my favorite and currently most played are the _JuiceWRLD type beats_ absolutely love it
If you want to have a diverse playlist to study too listen to these genres: Videogames music Smooth jazz Lo-fi hip hop Suicidal black metal Meditational music Add some more genres...
as a violinist and a medical student , it's definitely best to try some different music other than lo-fi. And ofc classical music doesn't help w/studying. Or is it only me(?
