For me personally music can either have a calming effect on me regardless of genre (mostly alternative/goth rock and their sub-genres). In a hypomanic or full blown manic episode I've been known to listen to music for up to 12hrs straight (exceptions are for eating or bathroom/super breaks), though I still have no concrete focus and I'm still doing other things, and my energy is still very high during my music binges, and since my mania can be the angry/irritable type, I.can get angry and impulsive and end up throwing my device I listen to music on, mainly my phone . But if I'm in a really depressive episode, I can't stand listening to music as it just makes me too tired and angry or anxious to listen to evennone song. If I'm in a baseline mood it is hard to tell at the moment as I haven't fully experienced a decent baseline mood in a few years. But regardless music does play a.good part in my life and keeping me calm. It's really a double edged sword for me to be honest.
