When I was in my 20s I was all for speed metal and the dankest of hip hop. These days I prefer more mellow sound.
I found that I don't like to use music to get emotionally pumped up for daily life stuff. In fact I even stopped listening to heavy and fast music for workouts. It's great to get blasted on some Fear Factory or whatever the hell this is for a set of squats, but over the long run I figured out that I don't like wasting the mental energy.
(If you like to have a little science, I can cook up a mean story about the effects of sustained emotional arousal, especially when you use "psych-up" methods to overcome natural lulls in bodily rhythms. This can impact your physical condition over the long term.)
For me getting motivated means getting focused and doing what needs doing.
I've found that classical piano and orchestral works, or ambient/chill/downtempo electronic music without lyrics, is what hits the spot for me as background music.
With all the ambient/chill and vaporwave albums on Bandcamp, Soundcloud and Youtube you'll never have to listen to the same thing twice. These two mixes have been popping up on my list a few times recently:
For a little faster stuff, I'm digging the renaissance of the synthwave/retrowave genre. It's like being in an alternate universe 80s. This guy has been broadcasting a live stream which is pretty decent listening:
