You could say that I'm the one being literal here. Makes more sense to me to call things with low fidelity lofi and call the pwre stuff DIY.
I feel what elph's getting at to a degree. In the modern day, lofi home recordings often strike me as more self-conscious than the organic quasi-unintentional nature that it used to have. Especially in lofi prevalent genres like black metal or indie pop.
