What does the term Lo-fi mean when referring to music or bands?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The majority of the music you hear has been tweaked and modified using studio equipment, but generally these lo-fi bands pride themselves on using the raw recordings.
Here's a forum thread in which members listed some of their favorite Lo-fi bands and albums:

M$There's a lot of old digital gear out there that is available quite cheap and can provide a lofi feel to music: The Ensoniq Mirage sampler is a great way to achieve a lofi sound, as would be an old Korg DDM110 or Casio SK-1.
