Sometimes I listen to music without lyrics like surf or gabber. Other times its genre music like northern soul or punk or familiar music where the lyrics are so familiar or vacuous/cliche that they don't distract. I wouldn't listen to really lyrically focussed music like singer songwriter stuff generally. So I think there's a spectrum rather than just instrumental music vs everything else.
