Thanks to everyone for the insane support on this video! Lo-Fi is one of my favourite forms of music and I'm so happy to see people agreeing and showing love. If you'd like to check out some of the Lo-Fi I've made, I recently released a new song. ruclips.net/video/xqNOhKYhKrA/видео.html Obviously, only if you're interested, I'm definitely not that great at it yet :) Again, massive thanks to everyone!!!
It is calming. It's a slower music; it has an intimate feel and a coziness that can be comforting. Look how often it's contrasted against rainy weather. It also touches on an underlying sadness that permeates everyday life. It acknowledges that sadness and says it's all right. It doesn't judge you for it. I gentle soothes it while validating those feelings without judgement. It also lets you know that you're not alone. You share in this with others out there. You can see that in the comments. Sometimes it's like a group just supporting each other. This world is extremely harsh, hypercompetative, and frequently derogates you for feeling sad or weak or vulnerable when those are normal feelings, especially in response to the pressures of life. Many of these mixes also list themselves as ideal for studying. Young people in a harsh world, cramming for school, hoping it will help them land a remunerative occupation in a world that often makes that very hard might find a lot of comfort in all this. The music also feels good alone. It's okay to be alone, to want to be alone and not socialize every goddamned second. Being an introvert is not always well tolerated, even though we all need the down time. Finally, there's a beauty in the sadness that I think everyone appreciates. Our world tells us to always be happy, our jobs tells us to wear a smile no matter what we feel, and constantly forcing a jolly mood is really exhausting. There is a beauty in sadness, and it can be nice to be there. It's not the same as being depressed. It's just sadness, which passes. This music is all about doing the opposite of what society says to do: slow down, take time, be alone, feel the sadness, find beauty in it, connect with others around all this and support each other without judgement. As for why such young people are feeling nostalgia for stuff they didn't grow up with... Well, I don't know. Maybe if what you said is right about so much culture being so overproduced and watered down these days, then maybe it's not unreasonable that younger people, who can so easily explore the stuff of the past on RUclips, might find older stuff more satisfying. They also get to see a kind of carefree vibe in a lot of older stuff that's absent now, and they might wish they could have had that. It sounds like a hell of an indictment against what's been made over the last decade or so. Makes me think of Mark Fisher's theory about "lost futures" in "Capitalist Realism."
The amount of preparation, dedication and time that was put into this video is actually unbelievable, you guys are seeing only the video itself. I've seen the 14000 word intense college-necessary paperwork that has made this what it is today. This has taken him almost 2 months to complete, with that being said, this is probably his best year - music production and something new (education wise) which turned Jack (Props) into the guy you see him as today. Well done man, hope you get a sick grade 🤑
How do you figure there was a 14,000 word college essay??? And where tf can i find it cuz i would love to read it so i can get to know lofi more. Im trying to get into making lofi beats and that’d be unbelievably helpful.
How on bloody earth does this not have more views??! The work you put into this is incredible. Hats off to you man! I gotta say I really agree with your points. When I found lofi, I thought it as a marriage between the old and the new. I'm quite traditional but I do like some new things here and there, and lofi gives me that. And you nailed it: it helps to slow down in this crazy fast world. A lot of the comments I see are sad people that become happy when listening to it. It symbolizes that peace that this age yearns for.
Nice videos man. The editing is priceless. In my opinion Lofi makes life more aesthetic and slow. After a bad day you can just chill and appreciate the beauty of the world. I personally love listening to lofi when the sun is setting.
I’ve been listening to this kind of music for a few months now and I’m loving it. Btw amazing video I’ll definitely have to listen to some of your music.
music doesn't just spurt out of nowhere, if you look deep enough to how the beats follow a very basic 4/4 rhythm you can say it originated all the way to the beginning of human interpretation of music... Point is, there's no real origination, only interpretation. One artist just managed to make a sound through interpretation and equipment that other people wanted to replicate, thus creating a genre. So In all honesty, I don't believe it originated from the 90s or the 70s, but over a series of centuries jumping from one artist to another until one made a specific sound that everybody liked
The amount of work that must have gone into creating this documentary is just unbelievable. Amazing to see such genius completely underground and unappreciated by others, this video deserves a lot more views.
to me, I get a sense of a warm Venetian or Parisian feeling of the old architectural structures that exist and it takes me away from my reality abit or when I'm conversing with friends on discord or in real life, playing board games and having social drinks at each other's houses. Hell we've gone to sleep in the lounge room playing the live stream videos and slept to them. Not just lo fi, but Halo ODST soundtrack (with rain, duh) and Chillwave and some calmer synthwave. Also, we are all 23! Finally me and my girlfriend have fallen asleep to these playlists, it's really fascinating stuff. Honestly in life, I gain a sense of dread. I dread getting older. When you are 18 you are really hyped about getting all these things, a house, a great relationship and a well paying job. Though, once you get close to it, you look back at all of your experiences and begin to honestly miss them. I had a hard time in school, my senior high school years were great though. Had finally started to grow up and become well mannered, all of my school mates were just peaceful, the entire year got a long. When there was a party, everyone from the same year went. After school, it split up a bit but that was okay you still had a large group of friends in which we all did everything together every weekend while also meeting people along the way. One of my mates is in a 5 year relationship with a girl he met at a party he wasn't even invited to. Then you start to notice groups splintering off, some people not getting along, and so fourth. Until eventually you only have 3-4 real friends and the rest are no more than acquaintances. Life starts to tie everybody up. I think Lo Fi massages your brain in which triggers your memories, it slows down your hype to nil. You think a little more about easier times. Easier times where you didn't have to worry about being late to school, because you weren't worried about a paycheck or losing a job for a slight mistake. I'm only 23, but, I want to go reverse time and go back to school. I wouldn't change a thing, I'd just do everything again- the good, the bad, knowing where I'd end up. If you are still in school and hate it, but have a few good friends. Cherish those moments and turn up to school for those moments and don't forget a day. Cos one of my old friends who moved away after school for University, passed away a year and a half ago. Life catches up eventually, you will realise that the people you shared great experiences with will eventually succumb to the reality of nature and life itself as we all must eventually do. This may seem like ranting, but it's what goes on in my mind when I listen to Lo Fi. I think a little bit more, it triggers a soft emotional response I believe. Kind of like a drug that isn't harmful to your body, but, rather healthy.
you are so smart, i mean, this vid deserves a lot of views, me myself, i just recently discovered lofi music and I don't know how to explain the feelings that go into every rhythm and beat. More power to you man and i hope u'll make a lot more of these
I don't even find lofi nostalgic. It's just such a deep vibe, like you said it slows everything down and helps you to take a glance at the nice things in life.
I’m a teenager and I find myself listening it to lo fi and vaporwave stuff. I think it’s because I’ve never seen this supposedly great time. That’s why I grew up interested in old technology. It’s why I find myself listening to 80s music that my parents like. I want to immerse myself in a simpler time. Nowadays, we just grow up differently.
Personally, I love LoFi for the melodies. They’re so damn emotional and it sounds nostalgic, even if we dont know where its from. Just the sound. I write all my own melodies so im excited to write some lofi piano stuff! Thank you!
Excellent work dude. Loved the summary at the end and I really enjoyed the punctuation at the end of LowFi slowing things down. I'd be surprised if this video doesn't become a hit.
This is a very well made video!! I've been listening to Lo-Fi for a few months and wanted to find out more about it. Thank you! Also heard this was a college project from the comments below. You did a great job!!👍🏼 Will check out your other works.
I'd say it boils down to being ironic.....unironically. In the same way I saw a guy explained current gen z humor. Gen z is so overly saturated by input that anything that isn't funny is funny (to an extent of course). The same goes for the Lo-Fi meta. It's so far removed from mainstream music that that simple fact alone makes it largely appealing. Of course, the aesthetic and the specific melody style of the music probably also does help. But I'd say my previous point is a big driver for it's popularity. PS! After watching your ending, I absolutely agree with that. Good point!
I find lofi music nice to listen too. I enjoy it more than "hectic" music. Lots of RUclipsrs use it for their B-Roll shots, that made me start to develop an interest in that genre
If you read this, i want you to keep going. This video have quality, and if you can keep going, I am pretty sure more people will find out about this channel and make it knownable
My dude, the amount of work you have put into this video is absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed watching every part of this video and for some reason, your voice makes it more pleasing to listen to. If I had to have my viewpoint of lo-fi music, it would be that it is a great music genre that has its beauties and its uniqueness that it has to offer is amazing. I can pretty much relate to many of your statements on your viewpoint of lo-fi music. In the end, the way lo-fi music uses its different styles and how people feel makes it appeal to many people who prefer to listen to something more calming and helps them relax and chill.
Amazing video. Lo-Fi music has always out my mind in a more refreshing place. A place where I can go to that I can escape and be free from all the stress. A lot of times I catch myself thinking of outer space and sitting in a space ship just looking at the constellations I can’t explain why but whenever I do it’s when I’m listening to this genre and it helps calm me down and sometimes I meditate with Lo-Fi music playing and it’s so relaxing. It puts me in a state of mind that helps me focus on my inner self. Truly great content and this should be shared more often
Very on point ! I love lofi for it's simplicity, and isn't that what meditation is said to be all about as well ? I just love lofi because it calms me the fuck down >< but honestly there's a whole world behind it of brilliant artists to admire, It's not just simple, It truly is an art
It's funny isnt it how younger people love this music along with people who were, well alive during that time. I think the reasoning for this is that during that time adults now were kids then and well when your a kid life is good. And younger people like myself love it because they werent alive then makeing it about more our own personal utopia of calm, but your conclusion at the end of slowing us down when the world moces to fast I think was perfectly said. Thanks for this video
This was really well made the only thing i could say to make it more detailed would be to talk about the roots of lofi i.e nujabes j dilla but other than that great stuff
Nostalgia is inherited via morphic resonance. Young people feel nostalgic, not because they went through such things, but because society holds a collective memory that they tap into.
Like your documentary man like watching it bro i love lofi music what I think lo-fi music is, is meditation music and every body gets stressed depressed and anxiety alot of people suffer from these things I am a music producer songwriter from the UK and I am lofi when everybody is Stressed depressed lofi is this piece & Relaxing chilled and everybody needs a bit of that in there life lol
TBH lofi was dead to me about 2016/2017. After that point I really wasn't hearing anything new or interesting. Just really, really formulaic beats. For a while there I couldn't get enough of it! Totally different than anything else coming out in the 2010s. Wun Two, Mujo, Dibiase, etc put out some quality music
I think you miss a huge point. *loneliness* lofi music feels "lonely", so has connected with a sea of lonely people that feels somehow empty or disconnected, alone in their rooms or thoughts. Despite the huge amount of social networks these is one of the loneliest generation and lofi music relate with that feeling. I personally listen lofi lone working in my pc at night drinking coke or coffee.
Is there a similarity to faded jeans with holes? Perhaps people are tired of everything needing to look or sound perfect, and squash freedom. You have used the phrase "anything goes". Nostalgia also might mean "it doesn't have to be new to be better." Could it also be a rejection of popular culture (except that it has become popular)?

True ohh soo true ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great definition, I can feel it 😌😊
lo-fi music is for girls. u guys need to get some balls and listen to music with angst like nu-metal.
Very well said, really agree with your points
The amount of preparation, dedication and time that was put into this video is actually unbelievable, you guys are seeing only the video itself.

Damn mate, thank you! That really means a lot! Hope you smash it as well
wholesome :)
How do you figure there was a 14,000 word college essay??? And where tf can i find it cuz i would love to read it so i can get to know lofi more. Im trying to get into making lofi beats and that’d be unbelievably helpful.
Lofi music is such a great experience. The feeling of a little aesthetic moment being completed by a Lofi song is so incredible.
Jarek [Zapzap] you said it bro
How on bloody earth does this not have more views??! The work you put into this is incredible. Hats off to you man!
I gotta say I really agree with your points. When I found lofi, I thought it as a marriage between the old and the new.

Thanks so much, man! Really appreciate that!
Nice videos man. The editing is priceless.
In my opinion
Lofi makes life more aesthetic and slow. After a bad day you can just chill and appreciate the beauty of the world. I personally love listening to lofi when the sun is setting.
Thank you, appreciate that man. Totally agree as well, probably up there with my favourite types of music.
My head hurts rn and ive been listening to lofi and it helps
i didnt know i needed this until i saw it...thnx
I'm French and I'm a teenager (so my English is pretty bad) and I love lofi and thanks for this documentary about this style of music so incredible
Thank you :)
This video should’ve blown up tbh
I’ve been listening to this kind of music for a few months now and I’m loving it. Btw amazing video I’ll definitely have to listen to some of your music.
Thats awesome! Thanks a lot as well, I appreciate it.
Lofi roots are Acid jazz and downtempo/trip hop from early 90s
music doesn't just spurt out of nowhere, if you look deep enough to how the beats follow a very basic 4/4 rhythm you can say it originated all the way to the beginning of human interpretation of music...
Point is, there's no real origination, only interpretation. One artist just managed to make a sound through interpretation and equipment that other people wanted to replicate, thus creating a genre.

Nah it’s vaporwave
The amount of work that must have gone into creating this documentary is just unbelievable. Amazing to see such genius completely underground and unappreciated by others, this video deserves a lot more views.
I like the interpretation at the end. Makes lots of sense. Lo-Fi is a form of therapy in a world that's gone too fast.
A quality music documentary. Very old school.
to me, I get a sense of a warm Venetian or Parisian feeling of the old architectural structures that exist and it takes me away from my reality abit
or when I'm conversing with friends on discord or in real life, playing board games and having social drinks at each other's houses. Hell we've gone to sleep in the lounge room playing the live stream videos and slept to them. Not just lo fi, but Halo ODST soundtrack (with rain, duh) and Chillwave and some calmer synthwave.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!
The content was really good and the editing exceptional, looking forward to more from you.
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Some of this felt like a horror movie. The footage at 2:53 really felt like the beginning shot of a horror movie to me.
I don't even find lofi nostalgic. It's just such a deep vibe, like you said it slows everything down and helps you to take a glance at the nice things in life.

thanks man :)
the editing in this is crazy good! this totally changed the way i saw lo-fi, and music in general, so thank you! :)
Wow great editing! Lots of varying camera angles too!
Came from reddit. Really good video man. I hope this shit hits trending
Thank you!! :)
You're right. I like lo-fi because its calming.
Also because its aesthetic, simple, and i just love vintage stuff.
This is great. Thank you man. Awesome production as well as the information provided.
Well written, filmed and edited video. Very enjoyable to watch. You should make more.
You did an excellent job with this. Very, very nice. You should make more documentaries, and become THE documentary guy. The new David Attenborough ;)
Loved this video! So glad to have found your channel.
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed :)
This is great. Gratitude for your work.
This is a very well made video!! I've been listening to Lo-Fi for a few months and wanted to find out more about it. Thank you! Also heard this was a college project from the comments below. You did a great job!!👍🏼 Will check out your other works.

Very nice documentary!!!
This is very informative bro, great work
wow amazing video really well filmed
SO MUCH WORK WENT INTO THE DETAILS OF THE VIDEO! Subscribed right away. Kudos mate
Thank you :)
Amazing video looking forward to your future uploads
Thank you!
This video is fantastic bro. Great job man!

i'm really happy, because on my city no one know about lofi, and I introduce lofi on my city, i'm really happy for this
This really helped me with my music appreciation class and super good quality video too thanks man
If you read this, i want you to keep going. This video have quality, and if you can keep going, I am pretty sure more people will find out about this channel and make it knownable

Your dedication to your craft made me subscribe.
I like it because you don’t have to focus on it and you can put it on the background as you work, study or go to sleep.
Awesome man, love it!
If this doesnt get a distinction, im going to have to speak to the manager
Thank you
Amazing video. Lo-Fi music has always out my mind in a more refreshing place. A place where I can go to that I can escape and be free from all the stress. A lot of times I catch myself thinking of outer space and sitting in a space ship just looking at the constellations I can’t explain why but whenever I do it’s when I’m listening to this genre and it helps calm me down and sometimes I meditate with Lo-Fi music playing and it’s so relaxing. It puts me in a state of mind that helps me focus on my inner self. Truly great content and this should be shared more often
Wasn't looking for this but really enjoyed it! I like your vision, style and the way you present information. Thanks for the nugget of knowledge mate
Thanks a lot mate, really appreciate it :)
Very on point ! I love lofi for it's simplicity, and isn't that what meditation is said to be all about as well ? I just love lofi because it calms me the fuck down >< but honestly there's a whole world behind it of brilliant artists to admire, It's not just simple, It truly is an art
It's funny isnt it how younger people love this music along with people who were, well alive during that time. I think the reasoning for this is that during that time adults now were kids then and well when your a kid life is good. And younger people like myself love it because they werent alive then makeing it about more our own personal utopia of calm, but your conclusion at the end of slowing us down when the world moces to fast I think was perfectly said. Thanks for this video
Waw! That's huge, I like your narrative. Great job!
Thank you!!!
Lofi makes me feel excited about feeling relaxed
For me it is about rhe mood it puts me in. It makes me wanna turn on my LED lights in my room and read a book or something and just relax.
This was really well made the only thing i could say to make it more detailed would be to talk about the roots of lofi i.e nujabes j dilla but other than that great stuff
Yeh Ive seen a few people say that, definitely couldve explored it more. Appreciate the constructive criticism :)
This is great! :)
This is so unique.
Hey man, cheers for this!
Nostalgia is inherited via morphic resonance. Young people feel nostalgic, not because they went through such things, but because society holds a collective memory that they tap into.
a beautiful way to explain beautiful music. Love
I love playing lo-fi in the background while I’m working from home
I always love the sound tracks in old Tom and jerry episodes. Ig thats where most of my nostalgia comes from😅
Came from Reddit
thanks bro
Lofi = Good Vibes
Great explanation little brother!
Like your documentary man like watching it bro i love lofi music what I think lo-fi music is, is meditation music and every body gets stressed depressed and anxiety alot of people suffer from these things I am a music producer songwriter from the UK and I am lofi when everybody is Stressed depressed lofi is this piece & Relaxing chilled and everybody needs a bit of that in there life lol
Thank you for this
TBH lofi was dead to me about 2016/2017. After that point I really wasn't hearing anything new or interesting. Just really, really formulaic beats. For a while there I couldn't get enough of it! Totally different than anything else coming out in the 2010s. Wun Two, Mujo, Dibiase, etc put out some quality music
Anyone else trying to just search up something random and on the search bar and searches "why Lo" and finds this 😂 😂
amazing! 🤩
I fucking love you.
Thank youuuu
I think you miss a huge point. *loneliness* lofi music feels "lonely", so has connected with a sea of lonely people that feels somehow empty or disconnected, alone in their rooms or thoughts. Despite the huge amount of social networks these is one of the loneliest generation and lofi music relate with that feeling. I personally listen lofi lone working in my pc at night drinking coke or coffee.
It's all about vibes brother
3:07 starts this cool song called Birdie by KOTA The Friend
This is hillarious
I think the 1967 Beach Boys album “Smiley Smile” is the first ever lo-fi album
I Agree...
well done!
Thanks :)
Deep down, we're all nostalgia merchants
it's kinda like jazz without the distraction of the musicianship.
nice
nice
hey, i found an underrated channel
What were the chances of finding a Bangladeshi here.
@@abulkalam9728 sorry, you're the only one. I was concieved a bit west.
That name though
Hey i wish you can answer me about you top10 best lofi artist for you ?
Like this a lot
Is there a similarity to faded jeans with holes? Perhaps people are tired of everything needing to look or sound perfect, and squash freedom. You have used the phrase "anything goes". Nostalgia also might mean "it doesn't have to be new to be better." Could it also be a rejection of popular culture (except that it has become popular)?
Lo-fi music is the perfect drug to my mental prison ❤️

Is it?....wait, it really is?
I enjoy it a lot but I had no idea it would be considered popular.
