Lo-fi (from the term "low fidelity") is lower quality of sound recordings than the usual standard for music. The qualities of lo-fi are usually achieved by either degrading the quality of the recorded audio, or using certain equipment. Recent uses of the phrase have led to it becoming a genre, although it still remains as an aesthetic in music recording practice. Many lo-fi artists use inexpensive cassette tape recorders. The term was adopted by WFMU DJ William Berger who dedicated a half hour segment of his program to home recorded music throughout the late '80s under the name lo-fi.
Lo-fi's roots can be dated as far back as a set of live cylinder recordings created in 1900–04 by Lionel Mapleson from a catwalk 40 ft (12 m) above the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. The sound quality of these "Mapleson Cylinders" is very poor (more so since they are one-of-a-kind artifacts that have been further worn down by being played over the last century); the aesthetic quality, though, partakes in the electric, authentic feeling of an unedited event being captured in real time.[citation needed] In the same historical period, commercial field recordings of folk music had begun to be created in many nations of the world, recorded catch-as-catch-can by early record producers such as Fred Gaisberg of HMV. The description of "lo-fi", however, would be slightly amiss, since the recordists used the best available equipment of the era in order to capture and reproduce the sound as faithfully as possible. With technology being what it was however, the resulting recordings would be considered quite crude, or "low-fidelity", by today's standards.

se strappare ruote ai carri
ti fa stare bene
lo fai
se vuoi aprire la tua scuola
di demolizione
lo fai
tutti intorno a quello straccio
se lo vuoi indossare
lo fai
il tuo stile collo-corda
ce lo vuoi insegnare?
lo fai
poco sangue gi? bollente
anche se c'? gente
lo fai
nella gola un lungo taglio
puoi fare di meglio e
lo fai
i miei ossequi
e tanti pugni
mio dio che pena
mi reggo appena!
io ti ho dato la mia voce
lasciami una croce
lo fai
e ora giunti a questo punto
bello che respinto
lo fai
i miei ossequi
e tanti pugni
mio dio che pena
mi reggo appena!
