Lots of people mentioning high BPM music, I'm gonna drop where I got my username from: the 1970s funk band Parliament. While not high BPM, there's usually several instruments playing completely different melodies at the same time in a way that really scratches my ADHD brain. It's made me develop a theory that high musical throughput is the secret to ADHD musical enjoyment -- funk is the very wide pipe compared to the high pressure pipe that is high BPM.

Funk relies on heavy syncopation - which is essentially providing the beat in unexpected ways.

It has a lot of anticipation/novelty. Makes sense it would help a ADHD brain.

Parliament/Funkadelic are legendary. So good.

Aphex Twin does it for me.
