We all know the meme and the music of ‘Lo-fi Hip–Hop Beats To Study/Relax To’, but it may also be responsible for a wide variety of different playlists you can find on Youtube today. From videos crafted around being the main character of a coming-of-age movie, or even an anime, you are sure to find something for any mood, even the negative ones.
Simply put, playlists are the perfect way to find new artists and different fan communities based on your tastes. Especially with tests, assignments, and other stressors being ever-present for remote learners and workers now, there is nothing like going into the comment sections of playlist videos and finding solace in those who are sharing your experiences and are reveling in the beauty of the music, together.
With that said, here are some of my favorite playlists with music from across Asia to help you get through the grind. Put on your headphones, earbuds, speakers, whatever, and let’s buckle down and get through our to-do lists–or, just vibe.
