Lofi Girl still has an active audience. >100k for each video. GameChops has a channel as well with >5k & <100k for each video.

The Musician's story adds to the vibe. If someone can relate to the creator, it helps to create more connection with the audience than a pure algorithm. The human curated/generated animations seem more coherent...even if it's on a loop.

I like some of the new AI animations for being novel...mostly futuristic. Though this will soon become common & something new will show up.

Speaking of the artists, I keep seeing articles about Lo-Fi being AI generated, but nobody ever lists who the authentic human artists are. The folks who love the genre and are making music because they love it, not just slinging out track after track where each one is being uploaded to Spotify under multiple artist names.

Surely there are many genuine, human Lo-Fi artists, and I'd love to know who they are.

You should check out the artist "Home Alone." Their stuff has a very neatly crafted vibe. It's lofi esc maybe a bit more jazzy than you'd expect. But their album covers are great and albums are coherent.

Just another example of an artist doing well for themselves still.
