Lo-fi is a problematic genre. I enjoy it whenever I listen to it, but I chose not to.
One reason why is because it's just too easy to make lo fi. When I listen to music I'm also looking for authenticity. A good lo-fi song doesn't feel authentic when there's literally tens of thousands of similar people doing similar songs. What's a song without a story?
One other major thing is that lo-fi, among most internet-popular aesthetics, are a form of escapism. I really dislike the idea of "remembering memories that didn't even exist" even though like all people I enjoy that sense of nostalgia.
Lo-fi just bothers me. It's a "guilty pleasure". It's the same for me in regard to many other aesthetics as well, like cyber punk. I think overall I'm just angry that we exist in this timeline.
Also hell of a lot of non-virgins in this thread. Not surprising but worth pointing out.
