[Discussion] Listening to music is underrated.

I don't think it is underrated, but perhaps sometimes in the heat of creativity it can be forgotten.

But people tick very differently on this. If I am in the creative zone, I can can not listen to music in the genre I'm composing, it ruins my inspiration. I have to listen to genres outside it.

I also don't think you can subconsciously create music. The creative flow might feel like it comes out of some unseen fountain, but it is very much a conscious thing. Consider that you feel like you are crunching letters and words when speaking sentences either, but that doesn't mean it is the subconscious doing the talking.
