Contemporary culture is over-saturated with crystallized images: they talk and sell the idea of realism as a supposedly surefire sales stimulant.
Lo-fi, on the other side, lets the imagination play out better. More interesting it is, to a certain extent. In general, art, imagination, fuel of passion, even sex drive, is delicious and interesting to the consciousness when it has something behind, that when it gets there, it is played out there, mutates, hooks local neural networks, not just copy-pasting like some contemporary ultra-realism, consumerism based stuff.
Mystery, unobtrusiveness, subtlety, this is what we love. Lo-fi and abstract is closer to the real art and play than realism, in this context.
