<p>Before any big test I have, I play pump up music (ACDC/eminem etc) as if I were a sports player in pregame warmups. Is that ermmm super sad?</p>
<p>No, ACDC is awesome. Saw them with my father a couple years back. If you played Bieber of 1D I would say you should see a psychiatrist…lol</p>
<p>I actually do the same thing; I find myself mostly listening to intense classical or rock music when I’m cramming an essay in at the last second. I’m not exactly sure why I do it, but I guess it motivates me, per se. So no, it’s not “sad” at all.</p>
<p>When I’m doing an essay/work I don’t need to concentrate on, I put itunes on shuffle. That means anything from Eminem to Disney music to Rihanna.</p>
<p>I do the same with Nirvana. Nevermind feels like it aligns every mental fiber in my being toward what I want to focus on.</p>
