Mainly headphones or youtube

Do you like to listen to single songs, whole albums, playlists, etc?
A bit of everything but mostly single songs most bands for my taste aren't consistent enough but when they are i listen to their full album

Do you play music in the background while doing something else, or do you focus on the music without distractions?

Both but i rather like using it as background music
sometimes i like putting an album on loop as background music especially if i feel the album has a nice complex ambience

When you listen to music, what do you listen for? Certain instruments, chord progressions, lyrics, etc?

It needs to surprise me in some way if i can predict the hooks in the songs or the chord patterns i don't like it
all im really looking for is something that truly reaches me personally and that i can listen to it again and again until it becomes like a part of me.
