What do I listen or watch while I write?

I have been on this DCC kick for a while now. I love watching Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Making the team. If I am not watching this show I am watching Happy Death Day, Happy Death 2U, Meg, Meg 2, or listening to Animusic. Animusic Pipe Dream is my favorite by far. I love putting that one on repeat if I can.

Just having something in the background playing helps me write. I also have something that I can watch when I need a small break from writing. I know none of what I listen to is remotely close to what I write but it helps me write. I sometimes will pull up my Youtube and play my music playlist that has songs from different genres too. So, I could be listening to 40s all the way to now. And any genre in there. Hip hop, country, rap, K-Pop, etc. It will be on shuffle. I never know what song will be playing. I could be writing a smexy scene and listening to Happy Death Day movie or a country song. Strange things have happen.

What helps you write? Is what you listen to effect what or how you write?
