lo-fi musicians get pretty prickly about the term ime, i suspect because it's diminutive

Not true, imo. I've gone through periods of being a lo-fi musician and I like the term. Dude who made this is completely wrong in saying it is "ridiculous". If he'd said it has become meaningless through over-use he might be onto something.

i have, too, sort of, and wouldn't say i *like* the term but i definitely don't mind it. have found that people who care to have opinions on it tend to be crabby tho

They should make a tent covered with these references and put it in a museum.

well when a word becomes meaningless through over-use, its use becomes ridiculous, no?
