I love lofi streams on YT. I especially love them combined with ambient nature bathing.
Something about it is sad/nostalgic, for sure. But when you get that ambient nature bathing in there, it becomes, to me, more hopeful and ... healing, in a way. Nostalgia is still there, but more of the hopeful/relaxing vibes than the sad ones.
I got way into them during lockdowns, obviously, but have kept it up. The trick is finding a real nature bathing track. Not just some soundboards that loop or are set at random. Real high quality audio from real places over hours of time are rare, but very worth it. My post history has more on the specific tracks I've found, with a few other commenters chipping in every once in a while.
You get a bit more wanderlust, tempered by the lofi. It's a strange brew, but gets me through the days.
