User blog comment:CykeP/Negativity in Western VOCALOID Music/@comment-4870649-20160204084741

western vocaloid songs in a nutshell:

edgy and teenage angst songs sell well, just look at the main demographic.

any hints of mainstream gloss on vocaloid songs is frowned upon coz we're terrible hipsters--same reason why it's cool to hate on Justin Bieber or some current mainstream pop artist right now.
