I have a new favorite streaming radio on YouTube to listen to while I work.
If I could tell you why this particular style of music works for my brain, I’d be delighted because I cannot figure it out and I really want to know. But it does. It soothes what I call the “Jack Russell Terrier” part of my brain and allows me to focus and mellow out.
But I love the new Lofi Teacher stream of “lofi house lounge music to vibe/chill to.” I am indeed vibing and chilling!
Lofi Teacher (the DJ with the mustache) is part of the Lofi Girl universe, which has its own lore and Subreddit, even.
There’s Lofi Girl, who sports headphones and is writing in a notebook with her orange cat in the window.
Across the valley (which fans have tracked to Lyon, France, specifically the Croix Russe area) is Lofi Boy, who streams lofi synthwave while he plays video games while his dog naps. There was a whole dramatic introduction of the synthwave channel, and if it’s night in either stream, you can see their lit windows in the background. Lofi Boy’s is blue, and Lofi Girl’s is the brightest yellow one.
I’ve seen teachers discussing how they use the Lofi Girl channels in their classrooms, and the chat on the streams is very active with people using the animation as a form of parallel work or body doubling.
And, per their channel, “All visuals and music in this video are 100% crafted by talented human artists, without the use of AI. We’re committed to delivering genuine, hand-made creations for our audience to enjoy.”
Are there music streams you love to listen to?
Friday Videos hope your weekend is filled with all the chillest and most vibe-ful sounds.
