We have an open floor plan at the office, so music is a must to block out the noise. I usually listen to game or anime music with no lyrics (Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, etc.). Really helps me get in the zone without the distraction from lyrics.
Totally, it's a habit I developed as a child, I need music to think and concentrate, I have no specific genre: classical, rock, pop, kpop, traditional arabic, indian, rap, violin and piano covers, sometimes series or even tech and financial talks
A *very* seasoned software engineer, I wrote my first basic game, a lunar landing game, in Basic in 1969. Currently I am doing web development in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Elm.
I also love listening to Jazz, Spotify has a "Coffee Table Jazz" and a "Late Night Jazz" playlists that are awesome, plus better than the EDM if it happens to be heard by anyone else. I've used them during exercise sessions in classes.
I really can't handle stuff with words while doing anything else, they pull me off of what I'm concentrating on. I'd never be able to work with a TV on, or a screen showing a video, probably too old to handle that. :D
Nope! I do watch movies and tv shows. I got used to watching tv shows and movies while doing my homework as a kid. Now as an adult, I have netflix/hulu/plex/whatever playing in the background with some low-investment tv show/movie playing. It helps me concentrate.
I have a repetitive playlist of songs that I really like, I listen it without the random on, so I know exactly what It is the next one. It lasts almost 40 minutes and after that, I rest, so it is kind of a pomodoro, so it is kind of cool because it allows me to rest.

I do, but only when I'm coding through the night.
I listen to a wonderful Spotify playlist called "Design/Build"
Oh cool! I’m gonna check that out :) I like to listen to pretty mellow music while coding so this looks pretty sweet!

When I ran my own business this is what I used to do as well! I don’t think my boss would be too pleased if I did this now 😛
I work from home! It was a pain working at an office because I couldn't do it. I had a hard time concentrating as a result :/
I ended up watching Twitch streams of programmers working. It was a compromise but it was fine haha
