Lo-fi

Lo-fi music is a genre characterized by its deliberate use of low-fidelity recording techniques, often featuring warm, fuzzy soundscapes and minimalist melodies. Emerging in the 2010s, lo-fi evolved from the DIY ethos of indie rock and electronic music, with artists embracing the intimacy and creative freedom of homemade production. Typically, lo-fi tracks feature mellow, mid-tempo beats, lush synthesizers, and soft, filtered vocals, creating a soothing atmosphere. Lo-fi gained popularity as a study aid and relaxation soundtrack, particularly among students and gamers, reflecting its calming, focus-enhancing qualities. Drawing from elements of chillhop, ambient, and indie electronic, lo-fi distinguishes itself through its deliberate imperfections and lo-fi aesthetic, which celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the comfort of nostalgia.
