This site should have the thumbs up and thumbs down button to like or unlike posts, it would definitely save a lot of nonsense.

My thoughts about music are a little different. Most people don't look at music the way they see other products they consume, but it's been proven that certain types of sounds or wavelengths can produce chemical reactions which affects brain function. It can have an effect on emotion, anxiety and anger levels, your sense of well being or self image, and ultimately success as an extension of state of mind.
I don't drink Coke and I don't listen to corporate music like rap, metal, or pop for the same reason. I don't trust the ingredients they put in either product. Certain waveforms, especially discordant ones, doesn't produce a balanced temperament, which is important for trading. Which is the same reason I gave up coffee.
This professional trader who I was studying with suggested I give it up. He asked me, how much do you think caffeine affects your thought process while you're trading? (and showed me this spider picture). It made a lot of sense. I used to look at music very differently. As a representation of myself or an expression of something I felt. Now I see it more like I would any other mind altering substance, and changed my habits completely.
Another aspect is the need for constant stimulation and personal attention span. Sitting in silence is extremely difficult for people if they're used to being bombarded all the time by stimulants. But silence has real benefits, especially while doing something that demands focus and concentration like trading.
