For me, it is usually some kind of metal….not super original I know, but it is what I listen to. Usually thrashy stuff, but I also like to get a few mid tempo songs in my head before I go to get a good consistent pedal cadence going. I tend to almost always have the Reign In Blood album by Slayer going in my head. Back in my BMX days, (1980’s) it was always hardcore/punk like Suicidal Tendencies, or JFA, or any of the DC area hardcore bands, so I think instinctively that stuff is going through my head when I am “on the edge”
I can not have ear buds in my ears at all. It makes me throw up. That being said, I could not imagine wearing them on the trail. I would be afraid that they would rip out of my ear getting caught on branches etc. along with what everyone else has mentioned above.
I also don’t want to be one of the people I hate to encounter on the paved trails that ride/run/walk along oblivious to the world with their buds/phones on. The ones that give you a dirty look as you pass them too close b/c they were all over the lane moving erratically etc. I like to keep my pedal cadence consistent, but I do it with certain songs just going through my head
