I got into vocaloid in 2017 or 2018, during what's often called the Mikupocalypse/Sand Planet era. I was mentally ill at the time, and songs by Wowaka and Neru (remember when he used to make sad rock music?) really spoke to me. I was only 10-11 at the time, and I felt like my age demographic was the large minority, but we were the forward thinking newbies to the scene.
Well, I'm 18 now. Project Diva has been replaced by Project Sekai, and I am always seeing people with the same naive tendencies I did at the time. It can be tough, knowing I'm not the kind of person that producers make songs for anymore, but I also enjoy reveling in my nistoalgia.
So, when did you guys get into vocaloid? How do you feel about how the community has shifted?
