Lo-Fi, short for low fidelity, refers to a music genre characterized by its raw, unpolished sound quality. It often incorporates elements like vinyl crackles, background noise, and simple melodies, creating a nostalgic and relaxed atmosphere. This genre is popular among listeners seeking a calming backdrop for studying or working. The Lo-Fi aesthetic is not just limited to music; it often includes visual art and animations that evoke a sense of warmth and simplicity. Artists like Nujabes and J Dilla have significantly influenced the genre, blending hip-hop beats with jazzy samples to create a unique listening experience.
