Ok? How does that discredit his past work?

>i've listened to this artist more than you have
That literally means nothing

>his work has been outdone over and over
You are forgetting that he popularized the genre in the first place and most people who have "outdone him" wouldn't be around if it wasn't for him (for the most part)

>Yves Tumor
The dude has a cool aesthetic and he is nice to listen to but his songwriting is honestly lackluster most of the time.

Is "lo-fi indie" a genre?

Probably not, but out of all the artists who get lumped into that category, GBV is definitely the best and most influential.
