> "It's background music you can enjoy," Blackman says. Listeners can focus on what they're hearing, or they can let it fade. This is pretty much why I listen to this while working. I find that the "random noise generators" are too distracting or tiring. It's not a genre of music I'd reach for in any other setting, but for work it does a great job of drowning out ambient distractions while also being enjoyable.

beats to <inset thing> to is a meme now. I expect the gateway Lo-Fi for many was "beats to relax/study to" on youtube. Or for the brits: "lo fi boriswave beats to relax/get brexit done to" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cre0in5n-1E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cre0in5n-1E

  Wow, that is the actual conservative party's channel. I thought Will Smith[0] joining the meme was as sold out as this was going to get, and I was wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA56B4JyTgI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA56B4JyTgI

  Check out this website. It has a ton of different natural soundscapes (some only accessible to donors though; one time donation), all of which can be independently configured to your liking, and there's a button that makes the sliders randomly change over time too. https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/rainyRiverbankSoundscapeGenerator.php https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/rainyRiverbankSoundscapeGe...

    Thanks, but I found it simpler to simply use youtube-dl to download the audio component of a bunch of videos and and do an "mpg123 *" in a background window.
