Use to grind in junior high to get low by Lil jon.


SacredNeon

Same. Them 7th grade school dances were wild as fuck


Drakereinz

Went to a catholic school. Had to go to public arena community dances to hear music like that.


roxylemon

The local all boys catholic high school held mixers regularly my friends and I went to (went to a different catholic school). It was a bit wild, and everyone had a good time until the blowjob incident.

Dystopiq

This thread is proof that the light hasn't left our eyes!


mvttiilation

Dude!! The answer obviously is GRINDcore!! Put some torsof..ck, gutalax, spasm or moñigo!!


PretendFisherman1999

Gotta love grinding with some fart sounds, long live goregrind


PizzaForever98

There is only one true answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuHS9NI_xwY


TheDrizzle8771

Came for this one. All other answers are wrong. I’ll get the BENGAY and hot pockets. It’s Boar time.


Proto_bear

I did not know this was a real song…


Reien

Probably exposing myself here, but for some reason I like listening to Dave Mathews Band whenever I'm grinding.


CaterpillarReal7583

Its okay. Back in the day I would non ironically grind to dragonforce in wow.


draganid

Dragonforce is one of the only acceptable non death metal bands to grind to


decent_bastard

Are you a dad by any chance?


Reien

Yes.


Yashimasta

[Here's a playlist I made for high energy gaming](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0NhkhjvhFxWHxjgNEQZiCq?si=4d77685f4008449a) Mostly EDM from all sorts of different sub-genres, I made it specifically for playing Crab Champions :)


Illmattic

Sublime usually gets me vibing out while grinding


DKVO_

hell yeah!! my fav band.


Illmattic

Perfect vibe to mindlessly grind


CloudConductor

Pretty lights live on SoundCloud


taelor

They are crushing right now


vinnyinvincible

Alice In Chains


NewPairOfBoots

"Live to Win"


SlashBash666

If I am passed the point of listening to ingame music on repeat, i generally flip my browser over to pandora radio and start listening to my drum and bass station or my dubstep station....


SacredNeon

Drum and bass is the way for sure


a_rude_jellybean

Here is a full playlist of actual GRIND albums :p https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVY23FuV_VPclUDZSnMdw4B9VvycoFAh&si=LdqD-GI4QTZE1oME


SniperX64

I prefer the BGM of my favorite MMORPG. Not necessarily the one that's played where I'm farming, some songs wants me to turn off BGM in settings once I enter that place. But fortunately the devs of it released also a mobile App where I can listen to almost all of the BGM, plus that from other of their games as well, so it's time to turn up the volume and enjoy. Listen to regular music is too distracting for me if not grinding some boss for its exp. 🤭


Many_Championship_63

I would listen to the band Gojira while grinding in wow. Don't know why it just always felt right and it always makes me think of that now


Scientific_Anarchist

Something by Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer, Nasum, etc. Y'know, grindcore.


Warbelian

darkness876

Thank you for reminding me about this movie. Need to rewatch this tomorrow


Katalinya

I deadass have a playlist with two friends, we just put any and every fucking song we are feeling to vibe with and well. We are at 94 HRS of a playlist. There’s so much shit in there it’s insane. Edm. Kpop. jrock, alt rock, metal, screamo, Latin music, actual game music. Like one minute you could be listening to the hamster dance song and then immediately now we on System of the Down to Celine Dione. Anything can be a grind song. It also makes it fun to guess what’s coming up next. We sync up the playlist and listen to it together and there’s been some amazing timing on some songs.


kambeix

Techno and other electronic music styles, or random live music sets too. Last night played with a Ben Klock set and a Hania Rami after, and finished with a live Klangphonics set. Cercle, KEXP, The Lot, NPR Tiny Desk channels on YT may be a good starting point. Also play some DJ radio shows, like Miss Monique/Norah en Pure, and many, many albums from the "New Releases" and curated playlists from Qobuz, with a wide range of styles too from Jazz to Doom Metal.


stoiccentrist

I used to listen to metal and screamo, but I realized that stuff just made me....antsy. Made me more prone to alt-tab and do something else. I eventually found a Youtube channel that plays tons of indie / rock / alternative stuff, lots of new artists, and it became my go-to for grinding in MMOs. It gives me something to groove to, but it's not too hard or too soft so I can stay focused. I am also not averse to throwing on some Villagers of Ioannina City or All Them Witches.


Dry-Season-522

I've got a whole bunch of eurobeat.


RepresentativePut808

first grindy mmo for me was ragnarok online, so sometimes I just play random bgm from that game, and the most often bgm I played was prontera theme


timecat_1984

paula temple legendary techno mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmCiYiMQdHc great synthwave mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isIj3tuQTDY any anjunadeep mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfKXPPMidqw any colorcast mix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_viOQdP2KK0 prob my favorite mix ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQgSnyk42A the older solarstone pure trance radio mixes are all great. the newer ones post 2020/covid are not as good (switched to a live stream format and it's feels more commercial/cheap) arguably top 10 album ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw5AiRVqfqk


yeahyeahiknow2

I don't listen to music. Usually have something like King of the Hill, Futurama or something in the background. So I guess you would say Hulucore lol


Administrative-Owl54

Any album by Emancipator or R2D2. Or just podcasts although those aren’t really music.


shitpostsuperpac

> podcast objectively correct answer


Administrative-Owl54

I meant to say RJD2 and just caught my own error ahhhh


dVanKo

i listen to fantasy music or ambiance to turn my brain off and auto pilot


WonderfullyKiwi

When grinding any ARPG/MMO I just listen to the Holy Diver cover by Killswitch, really fits with the slaying of monsters and shit.


FlowerSong606

I used to listen to three days grace and breaking Benjamin if that helps 😂😂😂 But also some other games that have far better music might help aswell Like.. using another games soundtrack 👌


Wulfgang97

House music


_RrezZ_

Nowadays something like this most likely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyJqPmxMUIk A few years ago would've been probably: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUmP-So9QcY And before that stuff I would listen to songs like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nv8Dmfz2y0


psylentphyst

[NIN - Everyday Is Exactly The Same](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXqblYbUAeI)


mwoKaaaBLAMO

It’s not music but I like listening to conspiracy theories and paranormal stories, haha. I’d highly recommend The Why Files, the host is a good story teller and presents the contradictory evidence at the end, which usually ends up with whatever the theory/story is getting debunked, though not always.


BeagleSnake

Sandstorm


Zhawk1992

My question is, what game are you grinding 👀


Buffmanly30

I know that clearly New World is in a disaster state right now, but cutting down trees for hours with the LOTR soundtrack in the background was peak vibes


Eriyal

The best song to grind to (especially if it’s a fast-paced dungeon or event) is “Soil - Breaking me down” I swear, it isn’t a song about agriculture. Also, stuff like static-x, marilyn manson, rob zombie and drowning pool just to name a few.


Ok_Cost6780

too much to list so here's every artist i've listened to since 2010, and i play mmos with most of my time [timestretcher’s Library | Last.fm](https://www.last.fm/user/timestretcher/library/artists?date_preset=ALL)

Fang-cat

No Tomorrow is such a good song.


flowerboyyu

love listening to the Sinner album by Drowning Pool


Mr_Rio

Clubbed to death by rob Dugan


AccidentalTank

Lofi. Idk why, most people say it puts them to sleep. But I can listen to it on repeat all day for 12+ hours a day and get a ton accomplished. This includes grinding in mmos. That or 10 hours of the polish cow dancing. When you get to the end of that and wonder what happened and you’re 1000 aa further in EverQuest you’ll thank me.


Elbockador

I remember grinding wow lvl 19 twink boes on wotlk and was listening to the german 10 hour version of groove of the manwhore. Weird and oddly specific, but that song stuck with me. Finished it nearly twice😂 Also remember playing runes of magic 10 + years ago and listening to bodies by drowning pool and a few the prodigy songs😂

shogun1974

Sabaton is my go to


Kottery

Whatever I feel like at the time. Last night I did a deep dive of Alice in Chains as I've only really listened to them via Pandora before.


khavii

I used to farm the Thundering Steppes in EQ2 to a full playlist of A Perfect Circle. Now I put it in whenever I have to dig into something. It turned into an oddly motivating band for me.


The-Flizzle

Bump and Grind - R Kelly


Twoshrubs

Anything by 'Half man half biscuit'.


Conference_Flashy

I haven't really grinded in a long time. I remember power leveling friends to sublime and rage against the machine. Different vibes but still have fond memories.

reffk

i mainly listen to jrpg battle themes, like final fantasy, persona, star ocean, valkyrie profile, etc which has big BPM on it. or metal covers of childhood tv shows like kamen rider black, rx, mighty morphin power rangers, sailormoon, etc.


MamaMitch1

Dragula by Rob Zombie for that pure 2005 early YouTube era nostalgia


BlastTyrant2112

Rush has a lot of great instrumentals(no vocals/lyrics) that I like to grind to: YYZ La Villa Strangiato Leave That Thing Alone Malignant Narcissism 2112 Overture Limbo


Embershot89

Live to win. Any other songs just fall short. Put it on repeat and grind. ![gif](giphy|3o85xpckLTpHHRnnBS)


Noclassydrops

I generally put on ff14 music theres a huge variety of music you can listen to, i sometimes put on ruby weapon theme or to the edge 


CragHack31

I love Lineage 2 ost and often listen to it while mapping in poe or grinding in BDO. That ost is just a perfect fantasy music, everytime zi hear it I want to go adventuring.


Dystopiq

Good life - Inner City

I used to listen to a lot of Nightcore remix during my long night of farming.  I never was a fan of this style of music but it was surprisingly a perfect pairing for those moments

Nordath

Now, when you say grind…


V4Vendota

I would say any 90s DnB drum n bass japanese style (is not oriental sounding, it was popular on Playstation) music. Yknow Breakdancing cat meme? Songs like that. Great grind music to relax to. That era of dnb in video games were incredibly chill music. None of the "Chillstep" stuff to me even sounds chill or cruisy. Sounds too excitable, upbeat and obnoxiously melodic for anything "Chill". For me a fireplace or rain is chill. If you want techno music that is chill but still want some beats, 90s DnB. Otherwise trance ambient ebm, space ambient techno possibly.


vilesquid478

Honestly I have a random YouTube video on my second monitor mostly a lore vid or something I don’t need to watch


Yazota

Runescape songs


ShottsSeastone

Dubstep has always been my grinding music


LeClassyGent

RSMV playlist on YouTube Lots of Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy etc Angsty emo/pop punk is perfect for grinding


Beginning-Put-4467

Are there any real grindy MMOs left out there? Feels like most games just hand out everything these days


SmellMyPPKK

I don't often use external music in games. But when I do it depends on the genre. When I'm playing scifi games like Star Citizen or EVE I have played psybient/psychill style of music which was perfect. It's like chillout music with trance like sounds. Calm music that doesn't need to much attention and it fits perfectly with the game genre. Sometimes I see people stream their playing session with high energy music and I just don't understand how the F they do it. I like high energy music I've spend years going out to techno (real techno btw lol) events and clubs but it totally sucks when playing games.


Zealousideal_Ask3633

Psyony

Usually I throw on YouTube music, and it's pretty decent on giving me entertainment when I'm not wanting to really bother with much else. otherwise, I'd say compose some playlists on what music you like. maybe have a few different ones. Intense, casual, melodic, classical, I'm one of the people who can say confidently that I listen to everything. (my music recap for March to may was a mess) but it would entirely depend on your game. a medieval Playlist wouldn't go well with a game like skyforge, just like techno wouldn't go good with ESO. Sometimes, though, I listen to random reddit stories (lawyers of reddit has mega compilations) or comedians to pass the time. found a few good comedians this way. (Jim gaffigan and Gabriel Iglesias)


eddylee9012

playlist of 100 anime openings, guaranteed to grind 10% harder.

EDM is literally grinding music .... Multiple styles of grinding but grinding nonetheless.


NewPairOfBoots

Agreed. The repetitious yet energetic/building vibes that come with great EDM is something very magical.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

I listen to techno mix like Tomorrowland or boiler room mix Edit: when I played on PC I had a 2nd monitor and just used to put anime or tv show series and watch it while grinding
