The live video and music did not stop but the very studious LoFi Girl disappeared. Something is brewing on the side of the YouTube channel with 12 million subscribers, known throughout the world for its discreet and pleasant content, to study, read, or spend some quiet time at home.
The last time a hiatus took place was in July 2022, and it was all about a broadcast rights issue. The owners of the channel therefore had to restart the live broadcast, which had not experienced a rebound until this week in April 2023. There is no question of a technical problem this time, but of a choice deliberate.
Concretely, if the live video is still available, the famous LoFi Girl sitting next to her window has disappeared. As the hours passed after he left, the camera began to zoom in on the buildings across from the window. The progress is slow, but continuous.

“Where is the patron saint of students?” wrote a famous american media, following this sudden and internationally noticed disappearance. From the original idea until today, the success of the channel today belongs to the French flag as it is actually a tricolor music label and the background of the video shows in reality the Croix-Rousse district in Lyon.
An unexpected event changes the game
Over the hours, the LoFi Girl channel began to show its Internet users by zooming in particularly on a window of the neighboring building, which began to light up in blue. This is also visible on Twitter, where the YouTube channel reveals a little in advance of the tracks to understand what is preparing.
“The download is finally complete. Should I click ‘send’?” can we read in a tweet, while the blue room in front of the iconic apartment has become the setting for a second live video also available on YouTube. New sets, new playlist? Until now the channel already offered two. Today, they no longer have a name and are simply titled “?” which suggests that the changes are not over.

In any case, until its last hiatus in July 2022, the LoFi Girl channel’s YouTube live streams had racked up nearly 800 million views. This new start could allow the channel to make itself a little better known, while it is most certainly the only one today to attract the media and Internet users on Twitter to discuss a change of plan or scenery in its video stream.
What is LoFi? This music, short for “low fidelity”, is a musical genre characterized by a deliberately lo-fi sound production, with a “raw” or “artisanal” sound reminiscent of old analog recordings. It is mostly associated and recognized by its sample loops, relaxing beats and melancholy melodies, creating a nostalgic and soothing vibe. LoFi is often used as background music for studying, relaxing or concentrating.
