[@ILoveSweetWaterMelon-ti2sq]

Lo-Fi Hip-Hop is the "Bruh" type music genre. It's slow, it sounds meaningless, sounds like the song was recorded again, again and again on cassettes.

[@3_eyed_magician]

I prefer original music like rnb, house, classical & jazz, adding ambiance & reverb sometimes is fine but i hate the percussion because its too high pitched hurts my head Edit: you're completely right, it all sounds the same & its so "popular" that KZbin makes it impossible to find any other music

[@Sergio-nb4hj]

I feel like a lot of electronic genres have the same "faceless artist" thing too tbh Jungle, bassline, and future funk are good examples of that. It's why you can have so many VA comps in those genres that sound like they were all made by the same artist. Don't know if I or any other fans of those genres would call it a fault though

[@morgantrias3103]

Thanks I had no idea how to make lofi and no one was telling me how, this is helping me produce music so there can be more lofi music in the world helping solve the lofi shortage there might well be (hard to know if I'm hearing a new song or the same one could be a shortage) I hope you make more tutorials.

[@aye5kay]

Really breaks down the idea that producers and beatmakers should have some minor depth with styles to be unique unless they just intend to be nameless to saturate or pump in a particular corner like a factory worker.

I started producing music in the last month, I made my 1'st beat but at this time whatever I'm making sounds the same. Any solution?

[@MattMakesMusic1]

Possibly try a different key? Major key to minor key can make a huge different. It’s all about chord voicing and progression. Mostly

I've been here since your first videos am just glad your back my dude

[@behindyou666]

Lofi hiphop comes from legendary instrumental hiphop producers like j dilla and nujabees, but has sadly been saturated by students and depressed edgy teenagers. There are some good modern lofi-producers like Tomppabeats, bsd-u and jpn, but so much of it is dull, unspiring artists.

[@cloudboy08]

Example of a dull, uninspiring artist?

[@CarnisChampion]

same just for fun. also in my case I got copy striked on some of my personal vlog videos because I wanted to add some music so now I dabble in lofi and vlog style music for just that. my vlogs. I think this is the first comment I have made on your videos since I subscribed :) Thank you!

[@Sean12248]

I'm going to be honest here: Back in 2017 I loved lofi. I used to listen to it all the time. But something happened during 2020 I don't KNOW WHAT happened but I can't stand listening to it. Now I listen to Celtic Music. YES I just said Celtic Music. It's very good and I love it. I'd recommend Blue Turtle, Adrian Von Ziegler and especially Celtic Night. The music is one thing but the artwork is WHAT drew me in. The music from these artists are suburb. IF your tired of listening to the same beats PLEASE listen to the artists I just listed. Especially Adrian and Blue Turtle....Blue Turtle even has a comic to go with his music on Instagram. It's a great genre, again it's something different and I've been listening to them since 2019 more and more. You'll feel different emotions other than nostalgia, your brain will begin to imagine knights, medieval fantasy, elves etc. You'll feel more creative especially if you write. Trust me at least try it the next time you want to Lofi and Chill. The Artwork is also on another level!!!!!!!

[@Emmanuel-j8y2j]

So... there is another type of music to listen and relax to?

[@quinntessentialLOFI]

Great video, I thought this was an interesting view point. Lofi has to evolve and progress in order for it to stay interesting.

[@naechtl]

Idk how I got here but I laughed so hard at 0:14 haha

[@kaizemikandjii1578]

its true that lofi hip hop does sound the same, but there are some artists that do have unique sounds, artists like less.people, kupla, or dryhope, but your right its so hard to get unique artists

[@UNTITLEDPR0JECT]

Nujabes & Marcus D stand out and make pretty unique Lo-Fi one could argue Nujabes is the original Lo-Fi.

[@NathanCore2811]

I actually was making a lofi album just for fun and try something different from my usual edm/dubstep stuff, and while making the first song I was worried mine was pretty unoriginal.... then I found this video and made me realize..... almost the whole genre is like that so I'm less worried now 😎👌 anyways great video

[@MattMakesMusic1]

It's original because you made it. The problem is just that a lot of lofi will end up sounding the same so don't worry about it. It's still my favorite genre to make! I just find it hard to reimagine.

[@tonk3841]

i unironically agree with the title

[@tropicalvirus1897]

Jinsang really do a good work making great beats. And threes and Lucy I think they really stand out from the normal standard ones.

[@somerandomfatguy.3384]

IMO most Lofi is just doesnt have that charm witch you spoke of "Nostalgic sense" most of them are now doesn't even sounds like lofi any more.

[@logan3576]

Listening to lofi is like listening to...mud. If anyone can point me to some more hi-fi audiophile music, I'd appreciate it.

[@egk4742]

speaking of unique, i think potsu is the most unique one, unlike most lofi artist who used samples w/ their repetitive beats. you should check one of his track called "letting go"... it doesn't sound the same like most lofi beats you've heard, tbh I'm really impressed after listening to the track... he combines funk, jazz and new age or should I call it "lofi".. yea.. its not repetitive like other lofi music. the song is rlly groovy tbh, the bass, the jazz piano and saxophone.... its rlly hard to not shake your head while listening to it.... note: he made and used his own samples. idk if I'm saying it right but all the instrument melody that you've heard in the track... he composed them by himself.... he plays the piano, guitar, vibraphone and guitar???? ugh idek what to say... he's really talented!!!! here's one of his multi-instrument performance! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ravHgaGCZcuHhs0 edit: sorry for my unskilled english.

earty lofi artist like nujabes, j dilla, fat jon, ect didnt sound the same but at the same time i wouldnt say these artist even thought lofi was even there sound because they def were not inspired by each other. they simpled older jazzy records but it never had a defind genere at all. Now we look at modern lofi artist many other then marcus D, kondor, dj okawari, they all sound the same and i dont really understand why when earty artist sound nothing like the stuff thats played right now .

Video is 2 years old, just found it. I feel like you have/had no conviction in any of your statements. Any argument you present will always have a retort. Being self depreciating and "beating people to the punch" for calling out hypocrisy can be stretched too far. Not sure about your other content, but I was just waiting for you to essentially say... something. And you never did. At the end of the video, you arrive to the conclusion that nothing you said at all mattered. I genuinely felt like I wasted my time. Lol.

Can we understand the fact that the term lo-fi music compared to world music is just another derogatory term for a wave of playlists that contain obscure music that can't be placed into a specific category of music? I'm telling yall that lo-fi is already dead because since it already gained popularity and you are not realizing that a few months ago I saw a an album made by a major label consisting of lazily put songs from their cataloged in order to capitalize off the trend of lowfye trash made by racist people who try to make a quick buck. This term lo-fi has reached the height of hypocrisy and absurdity. May lofye die out and neo-new jack swing continue to live. Now I sound like David Byrne for typing this, but I'm telling you guys, lofye has reached it's irony to die.

Lofi can be good when done right, take for example Jinsang, Jaeden Camstra, datfootdive, P.Soul, etc but now a lot of it has become repetitive and oversaturated, most lofi songs now follow this formula 1.
