Lo-fi VGM (Video Game Music) is a chill, often downtempo music genre that merges the nostalgic and atmospheric qualities of classic video game soundtracks with the mellow, laid-back vibes of lo-fi (low fidelity) beats. It's characterized by its use of simple, repetitive melodies and vintage video game samples, mixed with a blend of hazy synthesizers, crackling sounds, and soft, rhythmic hip-hop or electronic beats that evoke a sense of calm and relaxation. Artists like GameChops and GlitchxCity reinterpret iconic game music, embedding them into soothing soundscapes, perfect for background listening, studying, or unwinding. The genre's aesthetic often leans towards a retro, pixelated vibe, reflecting the source material of bygone gaming eras, while providing a modern sonic twist that connects listeners to the comfort and simplicity of past gaming experiences through the lens of contemporary music production.
