lo-fi hip hop
Mellow sample loops
Lo-fi hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop characterized by deliberately degraded audio quality—crackling vinyl, muffled drums, tape hiss—combined with mellow, jazzy samples and slow, relaxed beats.
The aesthetic evokes nostalgia and intimacy.
The genre became synonymous with study and focus music through YouTube livestreams featuring anime-style visuals: I put on lo-fi hip hop to concentrate.
