I'm impressed to not see lo-fi hip-hop getting mentioned.
From my purely empirical perspective, it seems like the biggest reason for the growth of this kind of music is the necessity to fill the void in noise-canceling headphones: the essential equipment for those who work in open-spaces.
- fredley 8y agoI'm interested, why do you think this genre in particular deserves mention?
- Insanity 8y agoI think because that genre became quite hyped in 2018. Personally I had not heard of it until reading in a newspaper that lo-fi hiphop was the new generation of calming music. It apperantly has a big community around it with livestreams etc happening. Just a guess though
- nickthegreek 8y agoMy wife works for BDO doing document work, which involves alot of spreadsheet data shuffling. She was complaining yesterday that there is some humming in the office that she finds very distracting. I recommended she look into streaming lofi hiphop/chillhop for her to focus more clearly. I started listening to it in 2018 when I need to shut out open office distractions and it was a real game changer for me.
- Insanity 8y agoI will have to give it a shot. Working in an open office kills my productivity. Makes me appreciate the days that I work from home even more.
- thatcat 8y agoYea, it's quite the meme. Akira the Don is my favorite artist doing this and he's been very prolific this year. Lofi hiphop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OKnUk59pZk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OKnUk59pZk Some of his best work has motivational or philosophical quotes over the lofi hip hop from an inspirational speaker. This one just came out yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGh3KDkonQE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGh3KDkonQE
