I have recently started to enjoy taking bike rides. I used to do it before with friends and didn’t mind it but it was not super enjoyable. It likely had to do work the fact that they would always do 40 mile bike rides that had a decent amount of hills. None of us have time for bike rides that long anymore. But a nice 10 mile bike ride is a nice but of time to just clear my head and enjoy looking one way and seeing the Cascades and looking the other way and seeing the Sound and the Olympics.
I have heard of runner’s high and read a good explanation for it that I don’t remember. Regardless, I don’t get runner’s high and honestly hate running. Even with a podcast in, I can’t get myself to like it. It might be a bit better if I did it more often but that is a big hump to get past.
Synthpop, new wave, dark wave, cold wave, minimal wave, post-punk, goth rock....
...but like synthpop more than anything else. I gotta have those hooks. <3

Happy to listen to lots of stuff though. Some others that come to mind right away: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Moist, Technotronic, early Skinny Puppy, Gunship, Luis Ake...
Mostly it’s different subgenres of rock and metal (like 70% of all comments here. Seriously, I’ve never met so many ppl that listen to my favorite music in one place xD).
I kinda have a few moods. For the “fun and energetic” mood I have hard rock and heavy metal, for the “my job is f*cking me and I don’t like it” I have nu metal and some other things that sound angry, for the “fancy” I have a strange mix of P!atD, Franz Ferdinand, some songs that are creepy/sad but sound happy (“I can’t decide”, “Don’t fear the Reaper”, “To The Sea”) and steampunk/dark cabaret/murder song bands (Voltaire, Coppelius, the Cog is Dead, American Murder Song)
My first love is Hip Hop but I love lots of genres Funk, Soul, Jazz, Electronic, House, Techno, Dreampop, Ambient, Balearic, Indie/Alternative - I’m probably missing something 😊. I’ve even setup some communities here on Lemmy for my music genres that I love.
Some of my favourite artists:
Mount Kimbie
The xx
J Dilla
Flying Lotus
Larry Heard/Mr Fingers
The Avalanches
Khruangbin
Beach House
Toro Y Moi
Erykah Badu
Miles Davis
Four Tet
Leon Vynehall
Jonny Nash
EDIT: Adding City Pop genre as well since I saw another user comment that
2nd EDIT: Oh and Reggae, Dub too!
3rd EDIT: Okay I keep adding artists thinking I can’t believe I left such and such off haha I’ll stop now!
I worked graveyard shifts at a gas station for a year or two. My general experience beyond what other people have said–good commute, fucking with your social life, taking its toll on your body, all that–is that working graveyard shifts is lonely. I cannot understate how lonely it got; there were stretches of multiple hours where there were no customers at all, and it was just me and the long list of nightly chores I had to do (mopping floors, prepping food for breakfast rush, restocking shelves, etc., etc.). Not having any human contact at all fucks with your head something fierce, especially when you mix in sleep deprivation and your body rebelling against the normal sleep rhythm into the mix.
My advise is that if you’re going to be working night shift all alone, get into podcasts. Having a radio that I could use to listen to NPR was the main thing that kept me sane, because I could at least have a human voice to listen to and keep my mind somewhat engaged.
I worked nights for fifteen straight years and honestly, it isn’t all bad… Provided you get the sleep sorted. The amount of people who rolled up thinking they could survive on 4 hours of sleep a day was pretty disturbing.
