For me, it's sorting through clean laundry. It takes forever so music keeps me focused.

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

You should be a mayor!

Cooking. Everyone knows: When there's a dance party going on in the kitchen mealtime is coming.

Working out with weights

Taking any form of public transportation. The sheer noise and bustle is way too much for me without headphones and a good playlist.

[–] zettajon@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly don't mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker

Not going insane while driving

[–] qooqie@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Working out. I hate the silence otherwise, usually podcasts or music depends on mood and exercise.

[–] Eheran@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Nothing, maybe except for listening to music if you want.

[–] raiun@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fill in the blank: I cannot complete the task(s) of __________ without listening to music.

Vacuuming/housework, and working on cars.

[–] lichtmetzger@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Coding. I need to get into the "zone" where I just type it all out and that somehow doesn't work in complete silence.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what? why? how does the music help? what happens if you don't listen to music?

[–] Muetzenman@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

You can focus on the music and maybe people don't like sex sounds. I guess πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Or it is a boring task and the music is the most entertaining part of it.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Being an Uber driver. Literally un-doable for me without Spotify.

[–] ThaijsClan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Anything. Music makes everything easier to do for some reason

[–] Cokeser@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Shopping, especially when walking to the supermarket.

Going for a walk in general, actually.

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Taking a crap. Here Comes the Boom by P.O.D. gets the boys from the south movin’

[–] Nusm@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exercise on the elliptical. Ideally I find songs with a moving tempo, but not too fast, and I can sync up my elliptical running to the beat.

[–] Bananakabooom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Mowing the lawn

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

mowing the yard without noise cancelling ear buds. it's way too loud without them. but the music gets me to a meditative state. i look forward to it every week.

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Runnngi / jogging

[–] essellburns@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Housework, I want something energetic.

Showering, I want something emotional.

Marking Essays, I want something instrumental.

[–] Didros@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I can't think of a thing I need music for, but if you mean you can't do it WELL without music than I say cardio.
