High BPM music has a huge effect on me.

I have seen myself iterating a lot more during a session where I would listen to trance music instead of 2000s punk rock.

Is it the smaller amount of lyrics? I don't know, but I'm convinced I have observed a higher productivity when listening to high bpm music in the past 5 years.

Agreed, though the effects can be detrimental when driving.

Have a look at https://www.steadymixes.com for 130BPM mixes and mashups to keep your pace moving.

High BPM music is fine for non-thinking tasks. If I have to actually debug a complicated issue it becomes counterproductive.
