Chillout

Chillout music, which sauntered into existence during the 1990s, is like the musical equivalent of a Friday afternoon in a sun-drenched hammock. It combines gentle melodies with downtempo beats, creating an atmosphere so relaxed that you might just consider taking a nap, or at the very least, contemplating the meaning of life whilst staring blankly at a wall. Popularised in cafés and lounges, it has somehow managed to be the perfect soundtrack for both existential crises and sipping herbal tea without any judgement.
