Maybe it is just my ADHD but I can't concentrate with any sort of flashing light in the room.

My friend uses his RGB-lit gaming pc for his home theater and he can happily watch movies and TV with 8 RGB fan lights flashing.

It is beyond bizarre to me.

    I never understood that either, but my personal theory is that different people just require different amounts of stimulation. I've been thinking about it a lot in terms of music preferences. Like I feel overwhelmed listening to heavy metal and prefer downtempo minor-key music instead, which a lot of my friends (who like heavy metal) find extremely depressing and boring.

      Yeah, I'm the same with very bombastic-style music. I can stand a bit of it, like at the beginning of a soccer game, but hours of it on end is my idea of hell.

      Downtempo minor key triphop is dope.

      On the other hand, it almost requires more energy to have in the background for me than the wall of sound that is often heavy metal etc
