Because I don't want to switch between songs all the time, I usually listen to long mixes of EDM or Trap ( no Dupstep anymore). It motivates me. There are nuances, I like Chill, Dark, Bass heavy Trap or Sad Beats/ Female Vocals.
But my taste is seriously all over the place - from Avenged sevenfold to K-pop...
Even classical music. Vivaldi, Bach and the like.
There are good OSTs, Halo of course...Deus Ex, Batman Games, Dishonored, Star wars obviously, Westworld has music from the guy who made the GOT theme....
And I love simplistic 90's sound! Mostly because I grew up with it.
And as a german guy a lot of weird sounding jams for most of you
