backleftlitz answered your question: An honest question: why aren’t people calling the Youth Lagoon record chillwave?

I think critics are hesitant to use the term at all these days—comes off as lazy shorhand, even though it fits as a descriptor

I think this is probably the biggest reason that record hasn’t been so tagged - it comes off as self-parody. I actually think there are some interesting things going on in/around/incorporating chillwave, though, so it’s funny that even “lo-fi” has slipped as an adjective.
