Lo-fi used to broadly refer to any kind of music that had a quality of imperfection or a deliberately dissonant layer that added a richness to the soundscape. It came to be associated with DIY and indie “bedroom music” but had been employed in big studio sounds of artists like the Beach Boys and now, a newer genre of hip hop experimenting with jazz elements in an atmospheric way for YouTubers looking for a calming point of stillness in a chaotic world.
