If music is described as "Lo-Fi" then what would you expect to hear ?

I'd expect fairly basic technology to be used, but then, I don't know shit...

fuzzed up sounding beats, scratchy vocals, scruffy sounding guitars, characterful but crap production...

I would expect lo-fi to be quite minimal sounding with a rough edge 8)

Quite raw sounding... and simple.
Lots of distortion.

Very little production and recorded on simple, less than 'standard' studio quality equipment.

It means music of such high quality, originality and genius that anything other than basic equipment would be a waste of technology.

Possibly.

I've just had a followup on the comment and it was meant as in the "fuzzed up" and "distorted" kinda of way so i guess Dog/Rich were on the same wavelength. I was told the production was fine though. thank god

Depth Charge stuff always gives me the impression of being Lo-Fi, but the music is quality.
