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.

Yes. This is a rip of chilled cow live stream on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A) that has 50,000 currently watching.

> Do you people really like such music?

I like it, but I use it moreso for when I want to tune out noises in my surroundings with something other than say, "bird noises" or "distance thunderstorm".

Yes exactly, I usually listen to it when studying. With it on 25% volume and noise cancelling headphones it tunes out the world very nicely while avoiding dead silence.

Yes.
