I've always been very into EDM (techno, house, etc.), a lot of people associate that music with partying. But the reality is, I had a metal phase, 80s phase, 90s phase, pop phase, hip-hop phase, etc. I listened to nearly every genre of music while drunk and/or high. It was either stop listening to music altogether (which would be ridiculous in my opinion), or learn to enjoy it in sobriety.

And I've found, I still enjoy EDM very much, just in sobriety now. Something that has helped is realizing that the majority of DJs and producers spin this music in complete sobriety. It was created in sobriety and intended to be heard in that way by those who created it. Just because many drink and/or drug while listening doesn't change that. Therefore, I'm now getting far more out of the music then I ever did when drunk and/or high.

Here's a more pop-sounding EDM song I've listened to a lot lately, very catchy and atmospheric, lyrics are cool too:
