    The YouTube channel Lofi Girl, known for sharing 24/7 livestreams of lo-fi music to an animated girl, Jade, studying, has reportedly graduated after seven years.

    On Tuesday, July 29, 2025, a video shared on their official X account showed her holding an open laptop reading, "THE END." As she closed the laptop, the girl traded her signature red and green clothes and headphones for graduation robes and cap. The clip featured the girl recreating the dialogue from the Disney Channel show A.N.T. Farm, saying:

    "Finally, finished with all my homework. I don't know what I learned, but I'm done learning."

    As the video went viral, internet users were quick to congratulate the YouTuber.

    "Congrats! Your music page helped many get through school I imagine," one commented.
    "end of an era," another chimed in.
    "we got Lofi Girl graduating before GTA 6" a person joked.

    Others thanked them for helping many through their studies.

    "Internet HISTORY has been made! Congratulations, Lofi Girl. I've been a fan. She helped me focus on my own studies while she studied, too," one praised.
    "You helped many through school tough times and even sleep! Hope you enjoy your Graduation!!" another wrote.
    "I was there when it started as ChilledCow back in ‘17 and how not even Youtube taking the stream down due to a bogus strike could stop her motion. Im so proud man. Im moved," a fan noted.

    The Lofi Girl YouTube channel debuted in February 2017, then under the name ChilledCow

    The Lofi Girl YouTube channel debuted in February 2017, then called ChilledCow. It streams live music playing to Studio Ghibli-inspired animation videos of a girl, Jade, as she studies or relaxes in her room while her cat lounges nearby. Notably, it first posted its famous "Lofi hip hop mix - Beats to Relax/Study to" livestream in March 2018.

    According to Toonado, Lofi Girl is run by a French musician who goes by the name Dimitri. Further, the animated visuals featuring Jade were created by Colombian-French artist Juan Pablo Machado. It wasn't until 2021 that ChilledCow rebranded to align itself with Jade.

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

    A post shared by Lofi Girl (@lofigirl)

    Per a July 2022 article by Business Insider, the channel initially started as a passion project of a 20-year-old college student. But it has since grown to include a dedicated music business featuring thousands of tracks from hundreds of artists signed to their in-house record label. In 2023, it even introduced a male counterpart to Jade through its "synthwave radio - beats to chill/game to" livestream. Lofi Girl currently boasts over 15 million subscribers.

    In March 2022, the channel reached 10 million subscribers. To celebrate the occasion, the team announced a scholarship giveaway to 10 lucky fans from across the globe.

    It is worth noting that in July of the same year, YouTube took down all the livestreams for the channel over copyright complaints. However, the complaints were soon determined to be a hoax, and the streams were reinstated.

    It is worth noting that it was previously taken down in 2017 for featuring the character Shizuku Tsukishima (from the animated film Whisper of the Heart) studying in their videos. YouTube reinstated it after the channel debuted its custom character, Jade. The platform also mistakenly suspended the channel itself in 2020. According to the Verge, while it ended the channel's livestream, the video became one of the longest videos in YouTube history (more than 13,000 hours long). It was reinstated after public backlash.


    Despite announcing the graduation, Lofi Girl is still streaming live music. Soon after the initial post, its official X account shared a tweet reading:

    "hey so i'm going to take a quick nap if that's okay."

    However, some fans remain concerned that the channel will soon stop its streams. There is no official word about the same.
