Ok, I start: I like synthwave, synthpop and sovietwave. And it’s not as much a question of focus as the fact music energized me, so lyrics are also ok and even welcome and I don’t get distracted at all.

Psytrance or Dubstep. Something without much (or any) lyrics but with a strong bassline, maybe a bit glitchy.

    Interestingly, the music I prefer to listen to is more rocky - Punk/Grunge/Ska/Folk/Dub.

    I acquired my love of psytrance in the early noughties when I used to do henna art at festivals in the UK. We got friendly with a couple who ran a psytrance CD stall, and were very often pitched right next door, so I spent many a weekend doing henna art with their music blasting out of their PA as a backing track. One CD that was popular at the time was Virtual Memory by Alchemy, but I seldom knew who I was listening to - it never seemed to matter. Worked well for getting into "the zone" though, and it's not distracting because I don't find myself trying to listen to the (usually non-existent) lyrics.
