As a writer, I need to be in tune with my muse. There are days when it is easy to commune with my writing muse, and there are days when fear sets in and my muse is missing. I found a way to bring her back, and that is by listening to lofi music.

What is Lofi?

Lofi music is a type of lo-fi music (also known as “quiet storm” or “lounge” music) that has become popular in the 90s.

Its name is a portmanteau of the terms “low” and “fi,” referring to its compressed production.

Throughout the years, the style of music developed into a distinct subgenre, with distinctive aesthetic and trivial characteristics shared by a large number of subgenres.

As a result, specific subgenres are often confused with each other, resulting in obvious fandoms, such as “pop-rock” and “indie-pop.”
