I don't really listen to anything when writing. No music. Just background noises and such. I usually write my posts in the train to school, which is quite a long ride by the way(not too long actually, just an hour and some twenty minutes), plus we can't bring earpieces and such to school, so yeah. Inspirations come as I look around my surroundings, or when I just rack my brains for some. If not, then I'll ask my acquaintances for ideas. Music would likely distract me and I'd hum or sing along, so it's rare that I'd write or do something that needs focus while listening to music. But when my focus on something is high, the sound of any music gets blocked XD. When I do listen to music though, what I listen to quite largely depends on my mood. It's mainly punk rock and such.
