"I don't know what I learned, but I am done." After eight years of live streams, the internet's favourite Lofi Girl has graduated. Here's all we know.
Like many, my introduction to the infamous Lofi girl happened during the lockdown, when I had nowhere to be, but a bunch of stories to finish filing. She became my constant companion. While I sat there meeting my deadlines or sucking at the new hobby I found, she accompanied me for hours, studying diligently. That’s precisely why it feels like a personal achievement to know that our LoFi girl has finally graduated.
The LoFi girl first went live in 2017 and was created by the French musician Dimitri for their channel 'ChilledCow.' This name was later changed to 'Lofi Girl' in 2021 and has since become an iconic animated character. Colombian-French artist Juan Pablo Machado is the one behind the now eternalised visuals from the stream. It seems like the people were able to find serenity through her streams that radiated visual melancholy with her soft lit room, fluffy cat by the window and lofi hip-hop beats that were comforting - her 15 million subscribers can vouch for it.
If you think of it, what also made her completely engaging was the mystery she came with. What was she studying? Why hasn’t she moved for hours? Was she someone from New York or a quiet city in Japan? Did she like anime, or was she more into reading books? Was she hydrating herself or fueling herself with caffeine so she could stay awake throughout her study time? All we knew was that she had an aesthetic room that inspired our own room decor and that she had been studying for eight years. While she announced her graduation, she admitted, "I don’t know what I learned. But I am done learning."
If you're a fan wondering what will happen next and if she will return, don't worry. It seems she was just taking a quick nap and is back now, relaxing and studying while enjoying her lofi hip-hop beats in her beautifully cozy room.
