It depends, Electronic music of all kind and some 80's rock.
80's rock is reassuring, a known variable in my mental state.
For example today :
Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase
Above & Beyond : Acoustic at the Hollywood Bowl.
Plastikman : Musik
Dubstar : Goodbye.
CI/CD = Continuous Impediment/Continuous Despair

If I am learning... nothing.
If I am "just" working... yes.
Mainly no singing, about the type it might be electronic, it might be epic, it might be chill out, it might be white noise... It depends on the day and the mood.

Interestingly enough, not for coding. But, certain types of music can get me in the zone for working out. Then again, I don't really listen to music when coding as I want to "hear" my mind think. Working out is the exact opposite where music is a necessity.
Keep in mind I didn't click your links, but the mind works in associations with everything. Music may be one catalyst but associations are the root cause. If someone associated eating chocolate cake with coding then that would get them in the zone. So any study that simply looks at music alone is missing the actual picture.
Now, music can be a powerful association of course. A very powerful one, for reasons that would totally derail this chat. But the root is associations so the point I'm stressing here is they need to see the whole picture.

Mainly classical or stuff with no words to distract me. I do like video game soundtracks as they usually have some kind of motivating quality in them.

It doesn't happen on CP and I'm really glad. 
It's a very strange feature that some have implemented (before they even understand how it should be used).

Skip to content
It allows users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content of a page. These links are useful for users who only use the keyboard or who use a screen reader. This is not a useless feature. They make your website more navigable, particularly for keyboard-only and screen-reader users.

A screen reader already knows the main content, if the web dev properly uses semantics. If they don't, then chances are they won't for this feature.
If you look at the OP mentioning what it takes to trigger this feature, then the user already needs to (in all likelihood) scroll past the main content first, which would negate any usefulness for this from an accessibility perspective for a blind person.
Might help the keyboard user though when tab cycling as space bar or page down won't change the tab focus.

I (could) agree. Except, why is it occurring for me? I don't use a screen-reader or keyboard-only.
I think it _could_ be a useful feature, if used properly.
However, it only causes me to have more keyboard touching and mouse clicking.
Not helpful.

I've never seen that (on GH/GHE at least) using...
Firefox => Ubuntu
Firefox => Windows
Chrome => Windows
Lynx => CP/M (kidding)
Just tried it on Edge on Windows for poops and giggles and nothing. You got some sorta plugin installed?
Jeremy Falcon

No, definitely not a plugin. I hadn't seen this feature ever either and then I started seeing it in Brave. I actually quit using Brave and switched to Edge to get away from this feature.
Alas, I've now seen it in Edge.
Again, it is a weird set of circumstances to make it occur so that's why I'm interested in knowing if others have seen it.
Also, I've checked the Accessibility options on my Ubuntu settings and I don't see anything that would indicate that it should use this Accessibility feature.

It's all relative.

CP Editors should include a "groan" emoji for response to these type of messages.

There are "roll eyes" and "not amused" emojis, which I've seen some people use for that kind of reaction.

I must've missed that one. Or has that been Grumpy Cat all along?

There's also an "angry" emoji, which I recall seeing a few times in response to a joke.
And I think someone asked for a "coat" emoji after I'd cut and pasted one as a reply.

I prefer the Rolleyes in the funny version. (Like whitsling and rolling eyes with an "nothing to see here" or "was I that?")
