Subject: Lo-fi hip-hop

Written By: bchris02 on 12/13/18 at 3:44 pm

Is this the next big thing for music?

It's been popular as chill/ambient music for a while but lo-fi style beats seem to be making their way into trap now, especially in the past couple of months.  It definitely seems like slower-tempo is where things are going across genres.  What are your thoughts?

I'm almost certain lo-fi is the next big thing. The pendulum is about to swing back and methinks it's gonna swing back hard. I can also see "classics" reemerging through young bands and artists.

Late as heck
Uhm, it's been awhile since this bleeded through the DIY SoundCloud trap scene that was popularized around last year.

I'm pretty sure 2018 would the peak of this whole Emo Rap/Post Malone/God's Plan shtick, and 2019 a simple continuation (or a backlash?).

Yep. Low fi music have a particular aesthetic to it that sounds "cool". It's kind of like vinyl.

Yeah. But instead those imperfections are being recorded intentionally.
