I love it. I can't stand songs with intros that last like 1 or 3 minutes.
Bro.. its background music. It isn't supposed to be groundbreaking original music. People use it for studying, Cafe background music, while cleaning the house, etc... >

I think people are realising that it is a cheap and lazy thing to do. >


and they are very much different from what the original music was supposed to be.

How to say "I don't understand the concept of covers" without actually saying it .. >

I know what a cover is. I also love when an artist put their own style and soul into a cover but Lo-Fi seems like low effort generic bullshit. >

Jave you heard about nightcore? >

You gotta give the majority of unoriginal ‘artists’ some credit, what else would they be capable of doing? >

As someone who somewhat enjoys lofi, I've never actually heard a "cover" from a lofi artist. Covers in general are never very good anyways, I think that's what you're really complaining about >

yeah and also: If you just take an existing song and make it slower or faster, youre not a musician. Youre not even a DJ. I know you want to think that you are, but youre not. >

I think you are missing the point of the music. Might as well say instrumental music needs more lyrics. >

Allow me to paraphrase for confused OP. Basically, is what he is saying is the covers all sound the exact same, with no variation. Think about it this way. You can listen to the same rapper over and over and not get bored of it because every song is different. Lofi covers aren't like that. With the exception of the lyrics the all follow the same flow, notes, melody, etc.
Hope this makes sense, and I'm not taking sides, as I've never listened to lofi intentionally. >

Someone listens to it to enjoy not to just get busy? I think it helps to concentrate and it’s good to play on the background, it’s not supposed to be unique and fast >

Exactly. >

I think people are realising that it is a cheap and lazy thing to do. Take a pop song, strip it back to acoustic guitar, female singer with a crackly "indie girl" voice with a curious take on how to pronounce their vowels and voila - perfect music for an advert or to automatically tug at the heartstrings. It is mostly just overdone, good examples are lost in the mire. >

OP does not understand the purpose of lo-fi LOL >

Couldn’t agree more. Take classic song. Reduce tempo, add twee X-Factor style voice, piano and nylon acoustic. Wait for next John Lewis Christmas advert. Done. Low effort and rubbish. >

Generally agree but “Mad World” was brilliant.
