video game music is designed to pump you up without breaking your concentration.
almost anything with lyrics in it is a no go for me if my goal is to have background music to relax/study to. also lofi.
breakcore (dnb), maidcore (progressive instrumental metal) or jazz fusion
I stumbled upon Russian Cybernetics in some google search related to the academic discipline of cybernetics. I like it as background music because it is mostly a very mellow electronic music. And I don’t speak Russian, so most of the lyrics aren’t distracting and mentally filtered out. Though some songs have english lyrics.

“Elevated Jam Tracks” on youtube (mostly chords and no distracting words/vocals).
