I originally hated the sound of vocaloids, and avoided both vocaloid music and the culture around their personas.
I eventually heard Sad Machine by Porter Robinson, and it instantly became one of my favorite pieces of music. It uses the AVANNA vocaloid voicebank.
Realising I liked the sound, I went looking for more.
Today my favorite artist by far is Clean Tears. The way he adds breath noises between vocals somehow makes the robotic sound of a voicebank so much more natural. A great example.
Others I listen to regularly are Kanzaki Hiro, Crusher-P, Inabakumori and 23.exe.
My story is oddly similar, except it was “Fresh Static Snow” off of the same album. I asked a friend of mine who was way more into anime at the time about what this whole vocaloid thing was about.
I then got WAY into project diva, which was a rabbit hole into more vocaloid once I got tired of playing the same songs over and over.
