Most Vocaloid fans are "casual" fans, who don't really keep up with new characters and sometimes even new songs. Closest I got was one person I know had seen the music video for CircusP's Luka song, Lie. I really only talk about new Vocaloids if I'm drawing them, and I give a thumbnail description like "the Chinese Vocaloid" [used before Yanhe's release] or "the new Spanish Vocaloid who has extra sounds to sing many languages" or "A fairy Vocaloid". It's rare to get another fan who wants to keep up with all the Vocaloids outside of the internet.

And... I get the impression that everyone feels invisible sometimes. I usually just let everyone else go first, and they typically talk about stuff I have no clue about. "I love music", I'll tell some of my friends I don't see outside of school, but they probably wouldn't believe me because I only really keep up with Vocaloid music. The friends I see outside of school understand... I think... but I still don't talk about Vocaloid much unless, again, I'm drawing it.

My best advice would be [if you aren't already] trying to make it related to what they're talking about? Like... well, it would depend on what your friends talk about. Maybe if they're into fantasy, they'd be more interested in characters like Avanna or Aoki Lapis, or if they're into "the great 8" talk about the Crypton Vocaloids and Gumi.
