Get ready to relax, chill, slack around and not think too hard about the sound quality of this next genre cause this episode is all about the lo-fi/slacker rock/ bedroom pop phenomenon. A genre thats been around since around the late 1980s, its music that was easily made at home and where slight imperfections were accepted and even embraced. Its sound dominated college dorms of the slacking gen x'ers and bedrooms of the covid-ridden gen z'ers with its chill, lo-fi sound.
