I had to look up what ambient music was and I found out that listening to it agitates and annoys me beyond belief. So that is rather a big assumption about music taste you have there.
I found I needed music to keep me motivated, and after trying out Rock/Metal (my normally preferred genre), I cycled through baroque and classical, and eventually ended up settling on Trance/EDM. It ended up just being all about the BPM matching my typing speed (about 124bpm).
