Lo-fi Hip Hop example: an electric piano, headphones and a cassette deck in a small bedroom at dusk, rain on the window, a desk lamp glowing — Mood still for this style, made with the Lookbook's image prompts. The page has no audio. Scene: an electric piano, headphones and a cassette deck in a small bedroom at dusk, rain on the window, a desk lamp glowing.

What it is

Slow dusty beats for studying: a lazy swung kick and snare, a looped electric piano in minor ninth chords, soft sub bass, vinyl crackle and tape wobble.

Suno prompt

Two boxes, ready to paste. The Style line goes in Suno's Styles field, the Exclude line in Exclude styles.

Style

lo-fi hip hop instrumental, dusty boom bap drums with lazy swing, warm electric piano chords, muted jazz guitar, soft sub bass, vinyl crackle and tape wobble, mellow and hazy, laid-back 78 bpm

Exclude

vocals, rap, singing, humming, trap hi-hats, 808 rolls, EDM drop, orchestral, crescendo, bright synth lead, autotune, distortion

The parts

The lead is the one instrument that carries the tune. Colour instruments add texture and never take the melody. The bed is the rhythm section underneath.

Tempo: 78 bpm
Meter: 4/4
Swing: 20% on the off-16ths
Key: C major
Lead (carries the tune): warm electric piano loop
Colour (never the melody): muted jazz guitar, vinyl crackle, tape wobble
Bed: dusty kick and snare, soft sub bass

Not this

Not chillhop: a loop, not a band taking solos. Not vaporwave: no slowed-down pop samples.

Other names

lofi beats, study beats, chill beats, lo-fi, lofi, lo fi

Pairs with

slow push-in on a desk lamp at night
warm low-contrast film grain
a lowercase rounded sans caption
