What is low fi music?

Lo-fi music (short for "low fidelity") is a genre of music that is characterized by its raw, unpolished, and minimalist production quality. Lo-fi music often features imperfections such as background noise, crackling, and distortion, which gives it a distinct lo-fi sound.

Lo-fi music can encompass a wide range of genres, including indie rock, hip-hop, electronic music, and even pop. It is often associated with DIY aesthetics and underground culture, with many lo-fi artists producing music from their bedrooms or home studios.

Lo-fi music has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with artists like Mac DeMarco, King Krule, and Clairo gaining mainstream success while still staying true to the lo-fi aesthetic. The genre's laid-back and intimate vibe has also made it a favorite among listeners looking for a more relaxed and authentic listening experience.
