If you haven’t discovered lo-fi yet, allow me to welcome you to your new musical obsession.
Lo-fi stands for “low fidelity”, and the idea is that this music actually has flaws in it (think listening to a vinyl record versus a digital recording.) According to some, the flaws are part of what help keep your brain on-task, along with the lack of lyrics and slow tempo. For me, a lot of the fun is getting to listen to lo-fi re-imaginings of my favorite geeky music while I’m cleaning, cooking, and writing.
