Most good programmers I've met are metalheads. Coincidence?
Is there a correlation between great minds and heavy metal music or is just my demographic too small?

- stackcollision 14y agoI know lots of programmers who listen to classical while they work. I personally listen to female singers while I work, although if I need to really get motivated I put on some metal or dubstep because the fast pace helps me. It's all personal preference.
- allsociety 14y agoMost DOPE programmers I know listen to dubstep, techno electronica ect. None that I have met listen to metal. To be blunt with it that is an irrelevant correlation.

- DamnYuppie 14y agoI would say your demographic is too small or fits into a banded age group. Most likely what they listen to will be influenced by the music they liked while growing up, or what they have found puts them into a comfortable zone. I know what I listen to changes based on my mood and the task at hand.
