What is a good background music recommendation?

I like listening to New Order in the background. Something with a drum machine would work too, like Smashing Pumpkins' Adore.

I find movie scores are good to play in the background. I won't play a score that will pump me up though, like Bloodsport, or Young Guns. Try something like the Crow, First Blood, Bourne Identity.

There's always the classic "lofi beats to relax/study to".

I used to listen to the Bourne Identity soundtrack while studying. Made me feel like a badass.

For old farts in their dotage like me could you translate ‘badass’ ?
There must be a dictionary somewhere on line that specialises in new additions and alterations to English expression. I can’t keep up with it.
