lo-fi beats
Relaxed study music
Lo-fi beats is a genre of instrumental hip-hop characterized by deliberately degraded sound quality—vinyl crackle, tape hiss, muffled drums—that creates a nostalgic, relaxed atmosphere.
The music became synonymous with study and work playlists in the 2010s, often streamed alongside anime-style visuals: I put on some lo-fi beats while I write.
The imperfections are the point.
