What Music do you listen to when playing chess?

I've always wondered if you chess players/lichess community if you listen to music when playing and if yes what?

For my part I like to listen to music with very high rythm when playing hyperbullet/ultrabullet, helps me focus better on playing quickly.
For those who know, I also like to listen to Rammstein when playing, and moreover to some piano when playing in chiller games like Rapid or Classical.
Epic music, try it out, it works perfectly after a long exercise of your body
I like many genres, however nearly all my choices distract me while playing. Sometimes I can enjoy Bach without it distracting my game. In a similar way, I'm going try Monteverdi next.

I would be curious if other players are challenged so.
What? How could I listen to music during a chess game? I am glad if nothing can distract me.
i listen somethimes but every time it will be pausedim playing ultrabullet so i still won
I play weaker with music... Only play it while reviewing games and positions.
For me its got be Mozart or Vivaldi...Great for reading as well but that's just me.
