someone once said: Lofi gives us the nostalgic feeling for the things that have yet to come...
Tom Oudijk I agree and sometimes there are lofi videos that do give us legit nostalgic feelings for the past.
Wow 👏
I just like to listen to lofi bc it makes me chill
i dont know why but i hear the voice of lemmino saying this
Malik Narayanin i really don’t know, it was just in the comment section of a random lofi song
Your voice is so calm it blends perfectly with the lo-fi theme.
Mikolaj I know right
So does the high quality of his camera and his photography skills
I See You it’s stock footage lmaoo
And the bg music
thats what i was thinking
Lofi hiphop makes me think of a quote;
"The world is quiet here.",
I think it's fitting.
Agreed :)
Yep gentle sound from my headphones or speaker is a good static noise I mainly listen to Japanese lofi to combat my insomnia or just to hear something else than the world around me now I’m going back to my playlist to shut the world up
Ayyyyy ASOUE
VFD :')
I like that
Don't worry, we will only dominate the world 😏
Thank you for the music
I mean chilled cow is stealing the show ATM but i really appreciate this kind of music, it came out of nowhere and yet really popular and great for relaxing and everything
InYourChill can you peep my music and maybe post some? 🥺
Lol
InYourChill Please do

I worked in retail in the late 90s, that music played every Christmas. It burned itself into our brains.
@@raksh9 there is like 3 stages to it your dealing with it, your about to break, and the you just dont mind it almost like it just passes by your ears
In middle school we were forced to sing it in front of the whole school, and we had to practice and listen to it on repeat for God knows how many times. My best friend thinks of it as literally Satan work now lol
It's that kind of music that makes you remember all the good things that never happened.
Or could happen

This is interesting and all, but we’re forgetting the most important question:

The girl doesn't finish her homework. The homework finishes her.
@Morpheu. Is it because she doesn't do it right?
That's what I love about you aperture. Your just vibing bro. You always sound chill. Your content has work and passion put into it. Your cool man.
and his videos just feel such high quality too

@@mikeyfreeman5776 and there you are, the guy who says "grammar nazi alert"
You described lo-fi hip hop perfectly. It’s nostalgia for something that never happened and what the future has yet to reveal.
At least, that’s what it is to me.
Dang that's deep.
Yoooo thanks for featuring my remixes man. I love the video you made, the editing is top notch. Much love ❤️❤️
Zeuz officially made it! :p
Modern day elevator music.
Not all lofi is just vocal/lyric free music there's alot of artists who use lofi beats and sampling along with their vocals to make a good songs, good artist examples of this are: Sadboyprolifc, Powfu, and Shiloh Dynasty. Those are a few that I listen to
9,999,999M views try idealism
Decided to show one of my friends lofi hip hop and they just said that I liked elevator music.
Pff-
Try killer tune by demetori
It must have taken him a long time to edit......
respect
Hi-Fi
“It’s like a background theme in life” that is what i’m going to use when someone asks me about lofi
"And then they got sued"
(Plays ad)
Fatima Espina lmao that actually happened
I'm also a lofi hip hop artist 🙂 And this is very relatiable.
Ok
Cool.
I'm the type to hyper-focus on songs when I listen to them so the looping beats drive me insane after a while, I still appreciate the style though and I can see why people like it
Same here, but lofi can be kinda relaxing at times - like 3 songs a week.
I get the same lroblem. That's why you need to find specific artists with lots of good tunes that are just the right length, over repetition is a mistake a lot of new lofi artist make, so not every lofi compilation is the best since they kinds use everything they can find.
Its nice that lofi is envolving in a way like look at artist like kainbeats, hevi, engelwood, dominant, idealism, saib, liphe, lindecis, and jinsang they have completely turned lofi into something new its awesome
Reasons I like it:
•it's instrumental
•calm/relaxing
•not distracting
That wasn't that hard
“-something flat out frustrating”
*gets mobile game ad*
The music theft: Who are you?
Lo-Fi maker: I am you but more legal
"seemingly blends into the background in any situation"
no more pumped up kicks for tomorrow school, it'll be lofi hip hop
Did it work?
Yeah yeah im gonna shoot up me school but I still gotta do mah home work while listening to "lofi hip hop radio - beats to study/relax to"
You actually sound like the most chill person I've ever known
plot twist: she's writing in her death note
Oh shi-
or she's in purgatory being forced to write the same few lines for eternity
Haha
No she’s writing down the same line in online class because the teacher is mad
Where did you get this information.
Australia: is flooded and on fire.
China and other countries: has a virus.
USA and Iran: Almost had a war.
Me: still listening to lofi hip hop
Alt it wouldn’t have been a war. It would have been easy annhialation
@@admiralhood8646 one year later the whole goddamn world has a virus
Was about to comment that lmao
Crazy how so much has changed in this year
@@chromaticswing9199 oh man that was a hell of a year wasn’t it
@@Alt400 yep, calling it a helluva year is an understatement tbh
hope you're doing well mate wherever you are
this pretty much sums up lofi in a nutshell..great post, i watched the whole thing
I hate how the lofi community is just filled with depression now, can’t we take it back to when it was to chill and vibe when jamming with a few friends? I get this music helps a lot of people but the comment sections of lofi songs just kind of make it too much in my opinion, guess I just miss some of the old days :>
Lol been seeing this too much as well.
Best to stick to streams, that can't have long comments.
@@ShadicgunMan the bots got to those
RIIIGHT
Rebecca, your average lofi listener very true
Ikr turn it on to finish up some hw and then there is this kid just spilling his feelings
I do love me some 7th chords. Minor, major, diminished. They are all beautiful
Hearing "Perfect!" Over and over again is what annoys me lol
Jimmy Newtron correct
Its not even perfect its "PUrfIc!" lmao
@@IQFZ 🤣🤣🤣
this can be summarized as "lo-fi brings people together"
Lofi is the best to listen to during April may before school ends. Honestly it gives me summer vibes
Yes, I have nostalgia on lofi hip hop.
The nostalgia is feel like I was looking at the sea with moon light on it. It's fell like 1970s,80s,90s.
But I was born on 2006 so that weird.
It’s like putting the tv or Netflix on even though your not watching, you just want something there yk
That slight tilt when showing scrolling screens, adds that next level.
What I love about your channel is that it's so unique from everything else on youtube, there's nothing like the vibe I'm getting from your vids. I could binge watch these for a whole day, and then the day after i'd think about life. Its just something about your videos that give off such a vibe and I love it, keep it up.
My friend, take as much time as you want to make videos,they are absolutely amazing and I am glad you growing bigger every day. I love your voice and your videos are extraordinarily interesting! Keep it up
Nice to see my man Zeusmakesmusic getting the recognition he deserves. He repurposes the music nicely man🔥.
Lofi hip-hop is probably the thing from this generation that makes me most proud
Samurai Champloo started it all for me. RIP nujabes 2.26.2010
Holy Moly, I was just listening to some lo fi songs and all of a sudden aperture upload a video of this.
"its a distraction that helps you concentrate"
Lofi Is just all around great to listen to, it's like background music for any occasion.
Some of my favorites are:
-Your favourite place
-a day in the life
-I'm tired of feeling this way
-5:32 pm
-thinking of you
And many others.
I let it run in my earphones all along my 4 hours train commute to work everyday.
Wth this guy only has 600k subs. He deserves so much more, he puts research more into a video in a week than I can every for a school project :/. For real though everytime I watch one of this guys videos it's so immersive he can talk about literally anything and I will just want to know more and more. Keep up the good work, post whatever you want on either of your channels just know that ill be here supporting you through it all. Can't wait to watch you grow not only with this channel but your secound channel too. :)

"Is it possible to learn this power?"
Lofi is lifes background music.
8:16 Damn good ones as well.
But then i realise that a music is also running in background all the time
Called lowfy
Why we love lo-fi?
Because of the low beats and not like other music nowadays you heard.
what surprised me most was how good Heart Attack sounded as a lofi hip hop song godDAMN
this is an amazing analysis of the lofi hip-hop scene, really nice video my dude, editing was on point :)
Little brother: "What's the song"
Me: "Nope."
Litterally me listening to Nightcore
Suggestion for the second channel: just talk, about whatever, ure my lo-fi hip hop man, when u be chilling, i be chilling gl
i agree , lo-fi is like a window. it creates this separation between whatever you're going through at the moment. on the other side of the window is the world, in constant flux in sometimes in our lives we get cought by that current and its feels almost impossible to get out of stress, change or monotony of it all but then , on your side you can step back free your mind and just watch the world and take a moment to breathe. it gives the same feeling as the famous "earthrise" photo in my opinion.
A little snippet of “the pursuit of happyness” around halfway through
Since you read your comments I wanted to say I love your voice 🥺🥺🥺
Your videos are so well edited it’s amazing.
Your videos are a kind of chill relaxing lo fi
"It's a distraction that keeps you concentrated." just so true
One thing I like about Lofi is the fact that so many sounds from different times and places can all come together in unison. Many artist may unknowingly be a part of a collaborative project that can last centuries.
I guess lo-fi is so popular because it somehow does not take us anywhere..except the present..it's distracting enough to take you out of your mind and thoughts but not distracting enough to take you away from what you are doing right now..it is the power of the NOW lol..just my thoughts tho xD
OKAY going try making some lo-fi beats now x)
Ive literally seen that lo-fi hip hop live stream in my recommended for years but never clicked on it.
I found the lofi hip hop thing a long time ago and i still use it
Haha, I was listening to music at the airport because I was pretty stressed (I was with my uncle) and my uncle asked me what I was listening to. I told him I was listening to imagination, Lofi version. Know we listen to it every-time we see each other. So you were right about lofi doesn’t have a specific age group.
Teacher: it’s not that much homework
The homework: lofi hip hop girl
I like lo-fi videos because of the comments. Some people there are just stress, overwhelmed by something or down right depressed and they really don't want to share their story and feeling to people even close one but they do open in the comments section in lo-fi videos. And usually the result is that they received a tons of love from other people and telling them that they also have experienced the same things and that it will be alright in the end. It basically kinda like a free therapy section. You tell them your story, they listen and give advices and try to relate to that person as much as possible.
You are the kind of content I love to watch on youtube
I turned to lo-fi hip-hop music because I had enough of the decreasing quality of pop music. Contemporary modern pop is all about love, mainstream hi-fi hip-hop is all about being a gangster and I hate the reggaeton Daddy Yankee is trying to shove down my throat. This is why I started looking for alternative music genres.
My big introduction to alternative music (mainly the genres of new wave) were meme clips and edits of vaporwave music. This was at around 2016, when I still thought as an idiotic teenager that dupstep is alternative music because it sounds different compared to mainstream pop and hip-hop music. The song that always got referenced was Lisa Frank 420/Modern Computing by the talented vaporwave musician MACINTOSH PLUS. Her music got me hooked into meme music culture, but I only started listening to vaporwave in a more serious manner at around late 2018, when I saw Vinesauce Joel's livestream about a fanmade sequel of the obscure PS1 runner game 'Pepsi-Man', called 'Pepsi-Man: The Forbidden Drink'. It was a fun game and it used vaporwave edits of popular '80s and '90s pop songs (you know, songs from the time pop music was still good), but one specific song really got me hooked into vaporwave; it was a vaporwave edit of the song Music in the Night, the original song originating from the band Solid Strangers. This vaporwave edit extraordinarily sounded good and I just wanted more out of this style. I searched for more vaporwave music on RUclips, then one day, RUclips autoplayed a song from the future funk and lo-fi hip-hop music label Artzie Music called So 1989 by Yuni Wa. It was future funk music, a more upbeat and catchy subgenre of vaporwave, trying to capture the essence of '70s and '80s disco music and french house while mixing it up with '80s Japanese city pop samples and anime GIFs. Basically the sound of modern pop music that has never come into fruition, or modern pop music from a different, better timeline. Then the magical moment came and I started listening to one of my first lo-fi hip-hop experiences ever, Summer from the lo-fi hip-hop musician Vanilla. It also got me hooked and I was craving for more, so I created a playlist called "The dankest dankwave EVER", featuring future funk and lo-fi hip-hop songs. Yes, I referred to both future funk and lo-fi hip-hop as vaporwave music, specifically meme vaporwave (aka. dankwave or vapormeme) used in music-based memes and Leafy-styled commentary videos, even though it's technically not correct in regards to lo-fi hip-hop. Then I discovered that these types of music have their own genre names so I started referring to them with their correct names (you know, future funk and lo-fi hip-hop). I then discovered synthwave, the music genre that gradually evolved from synthpop into its own, self-contained piece of art about cramming the premise of the 1980s action movie vision of the far future into musical chords. Then I discovered the parent genre of both of them, chillwave. Then after watching a lot of LGR videos and some gritty stuff from PHub, I finally fell in love with smooth jazz.
Lo-fi hip-hop gives me the chills...
I mean, synthwave, vaporwave, their parent genre, chillwave (also referred to as hypnogogic pop) and smooth jazz also gives me the chills, but all of these genres take a different approach of how they achieve calming atmosphere. Synthwave gives us the optimistic hope of a technologically advanced cyberpunk utopia, thus making us feel relieved and calm. Vaporwave, on the other hand, gives us the illusion of a successful capitalistic present filled with interesting technology around us. A present that never happened and it never will, from the perspective of the future. A technologically more advanced version of the '80s and '90s, a simpler present where technology and humans are in harmony with each other. Chillwave also tries to convey us into the illusion of a better present, combined with the elements of outrun/synthwave. Lo-fi hip-hop tries to chill you out by giving you the smallest pieces of joy in life and making you calm. Smooth jazz focuses on social life, hanging out with friends in fancy restaurants, enjoying the music that they play there and tickles your romantic feelings about the opposite gender. This joyful and romantic approach then leaves you with tranquility, peace and if you have a crush on someone, you then would probably like to talk to him/her.
And this is the present. I only listen to four new wave/alternative music genres and to a calm serious music genre (smooth jazz) nowadays. I don't need mainstream music anymore because I heard better. I don't need a random set of notes arranged into a song that tells nothing because I heard music that evokes feelings and it's food for your thoughts. When I only knew about mainstream music, I hated listening to music, but now, I love the genres I'm listening to.
Lo-fi hip-hop, vaporwave, synthwave, chillwave and smooth jazz has strongly connected me to music, and I'll never forget it.
Lo-fi hip-hop, vaporwave, synthwave, chillwave and smooth jazz gives me the chills.
Anybody else have a lo-fi playlist on Spotify or Apple Music?
🙋♂️
Hi, I’m 15 years old. Your channel is my favorite, these videos are so interesting for someone who doesn’t have a friend to talk about all of the facts and everything. Ty ❤
Tbh, the ad that came out to me was a lofi hip-hop mix, and I never skipped, even though its 30 min long.
If there were categories to comments I would be on the weird one
Lofi hiphop is like an online therapy session without using drugs.
every time i play Minecraft or some relaxing game. I always listen to Lofi in the background and then i really get into the zone and forget the world for a little. Pretty great ngl.
This really made me appreciate lo-fi hiphop more♡
Ur legitimately the best RUclipsr to ever exist
Aperture, can you make a video talking about your favorite things, anime, movies, no weird stuff, I rlly like learning abt what my favorite youtuber a favorite things are
Yo bro you are awesome. I have seen everyone of your videos and they are all some of the best sciency and creative videos that I have ever seen. Keep up the good work and never stop
Your description of the “future nostalgia” (as I call it) sums it up better than I ever could
I just want to say that I already listened to lofi hip hop, 4 years ago.
KarstDeViz no one gives a shit youre not special
That girl has an excessive amount of homework.

Once upon a time I made fun of old people for loving smooth jazz and working to it. 2023, I'm the 40 year old working to lofi 🤦🏾♂️ now I get it, it really does help get work done and chills you out
I remember find out lofi music when I was searching for some music to help me focus on whilst I did my coursework at university, back in 2013/2014. Since then, Ive just been going down the rabbit hole of the lofi music genre.
It takes so long because your editing is absolutely amazing dude, props to you for the that
The video production quality is so great. You need wayyyy more subs. Keep up the great work!
Great contribution to the community 🙏
Your narration is great, the video editing perfect and the passion you put in every single video is breathtaking. Dude you deserved a much larger audience than you have right now.
make video about viruses or impeachment
Lo-fi, Hi-fi,
Wi-Fi
I’m not even sorry
I just found this genre like 10 mins ago and I feel like I just found myself. I’m going through a lot right now and this type of music just kicks me back and helps me stay in the moment
it will get boring soon. its just a repetitive genre, all the songs sound the same and it is lazy music
Lofi is the reason I’m watching you right now. I was studying and doing homework and one of your videos popped up and I clicked on it and I loved your calm voice, interesting subjects, and the thing that stuck out to me the most was the music. And now I’ve been listening to them for the past 3 hours and I’ve enjoyed all of it
To anyone who comes across this, in the sea of comments, I would like to share what I use lofi for.
When I listen to that track, it gives me one memory that has yet to come (has someone had said in the comments.) I see myself, in either a cool, cloudy light drizzle or a sunset, on an apartment building overlooking a small city. I have a girlfriend/wife or just S.O, (for a non gender conforming person) with me, sipping a hot drink. We have a cat/kitten somewhere in the picture, either laying on the porch or on their lap. Lofi plays in the background. This feels like home, and peace. Its something that I can go to in places of depression, loneliness, or when I have nothing to keep me going. I feel like this could happen one day for me, and when something like it does, I'll find a lofi station, and reflect, I have freedom, love, and tranquility, all there on that porch. I do feel like that day will come, no clue when, but I just hope it comes. When it does, i'll update this comment if I can. To show that I made it, to anyone who wants to know. Thank you for reading
Hopefully that all can come true in the future
This channel needs more traffic, I’m liking, commenting, and watching the adds on these.
i listen to it when i‘m trying to sleep or while coding. i‘m depressed af and this shit is the best way to calm me down. love it
I love this channel it makes me relaxed. It makes me think about life.

Lo-fi Hip Hop 🥰🥰🥰💖
I was in a live comment section and everyone was talking about where they were from. And there was just people from all around the world. It was really cool
I literally had a lofi hip hop stream playing as I watched this
Bruhhh you can't just make Heart Attack into a Lofi song lmfao😂
you can
Almost anything can be lofi hip hop, that's the beauty of it.
