So, do you?
If so, what kind?

I do all the time, honestly. I choose to listen to mostly hard rock and stuff, mainly to get a rush-type of feeling and help hurry things up for me, Nya~.

Some examples are stuff like Guns N Roses, TNT, Led Zepplin, Van Halen, etc.

Depends on the actual game music... If it's something like Sonic 2 I don't play music in the background as the levels are short enough and it's not like any of the soundtracks suck that much... 

When I'm doing a speed run of other games though I do tend to play like fast, heavy music... Like Rise against. Or maybe some of the brony songs that are pretty insane... Either way they always have a high tempo and I feel as though it makes you more focused on the game... Unless you randomly start singing the vocals of course

I never use the game's music. It sounds so wrong, and weird, and distorted. I usually only use music during a video game playing if I am craving a certain song, and then I just let it go from there.

I pretty much never listen to outside music sources when playing games for any purpose. I just use the actual game's music. To listen to other music while playing basically means I need to mute the game sound entirely including the sound effects(except for in newer games that have separate SFX and BGM music sliders). This is a major no-no for me as I can't actually get the feeling for the game properly if there's no sound. I'm not sure why, but I need the in-game sound effects to be in a proper rhythm for playing... otherwise, my timing and everything is just off.

I've also done blind speed runs before too in which case the sound effects are the only feedback I have :p

Yes, sometimes I listen to music while speed running. I normally do this when I've heard the games music so much that it starts to ooze out of my brain. Typically, I will listen to fast-paced music, but it all depends on my mood.

I use other video game music when I speedrun. Like Kingdom Hearts and epic fast paced music like from Immediate Music and Pfeifer Broz.

I don't speedrun often, but when I do, I use the video game's music. Listening to the same video game music constantly, knowing when in a song (or how many loops through it) you finish a level helps you get a feel for whether you finished the level or found your boss fight faster or slower than normal without needing a timing program like WSplit, nice for games that don't have an in-game timer. Won't help you know exactly how much better or worse you're doing overall, though, unless you're speedrunning GTA3 or GTA:VC where the music patterns are consistent throughout the game (even if you use custom music).

No, not really. I only do a speed run about twice a year, so I normally really want to get it done as fast as I can. The music is just a big huge distraction to me.

I guess music can help. Usually fast music. Though i wouldn't listen to something I like a lot because I would just get distracted. When you play a game with great music anyway, music is not needed. For instance, wipEout. A game with such a good soundtrack no additional music is needed, though I don't think speed running that would be good because it is a racing game.

I don't like listening to a lot of gaming music.. I mean sometimes it's okay but sometimes it just gets annoying. I do listen to a bit of rock or good up beat music.. cause it helps me focus more and do better. This effect seems to happen on a lot of people these days. It's a great thing but it can also lead to so much game playing :V
