Different music for different tasks?

I recently noticed that different music genres help me to be more productive at certain tasks.
For example, I nearly always listen to German hip-hop while coding, but the same kind of music completely stops me from writing up stuff. For this kind of work I nearly always switch to that one metal playlist I discovered while working on my thesis.

Do you switch between genres while doing different tasks? Which kind of music helps you to concentrate the most?

I used to switch songs on red lights, on each one when I used to drive. I think it's out of habit that I still do it. Doing tasks I like to listen to something chill with mild beats. That kind of music helps me concentrate the best.
