Likely Haram (2/5). Ayatollah Sistani's 'Expert Recognition Test' asks whether the tune type is suitable for entertainment and amusement gatherings. Although the lo-fi beat is slow, relaxing, and melancholy, Sistani explicitly rules that psychological effects (such as relaxation or soothing of the nerves) are completely irrelevant to the ruling.
