 I listen to all sorts of genres, new, old, and very old. The urge to enjoy that teenage angst is definitely a strong one. Those spells will last a few weeks for me, but for some reason I've dodged that settling of preference. There's so many incredible artists out there creating passionate works.

 I think we're lucky 😅 
 i went from metal to punk to psytrance to industrial to ambient and all of those make some degree of appearance in my playlist, in pretty much order of distance in time

ambient is my staple these days

music with lyrics does not go well with programming 
 Makes sense. Listening to voices is definitely a hard thing to shut off. 😅 
 yeah, double that when you have trauma history/ptsd, just loud sudden noises even... dogs and screaming children make me crazy

one thing that has been interesting though as i have made progress with my diabetes and general health problems my hyper-sensitivity is declining and i'm feeling more relaxed

going into keto after a full 3 day fast really made a difference way beyond what you would have guessed... looking forward to my next one, i schedule them for the 3 days leading to the new moon, so, starving myself again from 31st, the 3rd day before the new moon 
 I'm glad your noticing some improvements. It's quite the experience going through a synergistic mind/body healing cycle.
