FAQ About The Evolution of Lo-fi Music in Digital Platforms
How did lo-fi music originate?
Lo-fi music's origins can be traced back to the DIY ethic of 1960s and 70s rock bands that recorded music in garages and basements. The term 'lo-fi' gained prominence in the 1990s with the rise of artists who embraced lower-quality recordings as an artistic choice. However, the genre in its current form has been heavily influenced by producers like J Dilla and Nujabes, who integrated techniques from hip-hop and jazz into their work.
