Basically trip hop for people who missed out on or are too young for trip hop.
Nujabes, Massive Attack, Portishead, Unkle, Little Dragon, and many more great artists/bands that all have produced albums and songs that could be described as lofi, often find their work in lofi mixes.
“Lofi” as it is understood nowadays is more about background music that aims not to be distracting when working/studying. Basically lofi == “lofi (to study to)”.
Trip-hop like Portishead does it, while it is “low fidelity” (as in it uses warm tones, crackling, record scratching, etc), it is not lofi, in the same way that Sabaton is Rock but not Rock&Roll.
I imagine doing homework undistracted while Unkle’s Warstories or Portishead’s Dummy are playing. Or how DJ Shadow would fit on the same shelf as this one tired anime girl with her studying hip-hop beats. It’s a bit of a stretch to put them together, if not for a dozen of neutral songs in their discographies.
It’s basically the same genre, but “Trip Hop Beats to Relax/Study To” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
Uh I listen to Skyrim ambience when I work
skyrim male grunts compilation #37
It’s listed as a derivative form on the wiki page lol
Apparently you’re supposed to add the suffix “core” to every genre these days. Like loficore, or grindcorecore.
sheeeeeet
I just listen to Anne ASMR
This is delightful. Something new to listen to while I do some work
Might also try whatever Bohren & Der Club Of Gore is.
