Do you people really like such music? I admit these backgrounds require a bit of effort to make. But what's the point? To use it as a screensaver?

Yes.

Could the CPU load be reduced? If I am only on the page, not even playing any music yet (probably because something is blocked), I get 1 core up at 100% CPU load. This can't all be for an animated background image, can it?

I wonder if they're crypto-mining.

In case anyone is interested, you can get most of these exact same playlists by searching “chillhop music” on Apple Music. Probably on Spotify and others too. Very nice background music for coding (for me anyway).

What do you call the art style like this? It reminds me of a game called Va11-halla. I kind of like it, but it's frustrating that I can't name what it is. I see random Japanese texts here and there that are obviously made by non-Japanese people (they're awkward). "Foreigner's image of Tokyo's city life"?

It seems to be a mix of Vapourwave and Lo-Fi

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Well it's not like I know a hundred lofi songs by heart or subscribe to lofi news but it serves as a nice background when I'm working alone in my apartment.

Yeah, that's pretty much it; lofi is loud enough to drown out intermittent noise in the area, while monotonous and simple enough to allow you to concentrate on whatever you're doing instead of on the music. It's not unlike elevator music.

Yeah it’s like good elevator music, haha

Cool but it'd be nice to have track and artist names, out of respect to the artists.

Hello there, I’m the guy who made https://lofimusic.app Just wanted to tell you it looks good :), keep up the good work!

I found then lost the reference to lofimusic.app, and could't find it again until today, so I'm overjoyed to stumble upon it again, as well as this new thing!

Thank you both, I love them both!

May I also suggest the [freeCodeCamp.org Code Radio][1]. They actually had a [recording artist contribute and curate most of the beats under a creative license][2].
