Back in the day Vocaloid was still a bit of an alien concept, so you'd see a lot of creative ideas behind songs (especially stuff surrounding the idea that Vocaloids were sentient anthropomorphic programs within our computers). But over time as Vocaloids became more normalized and more appealing to masses from sheer exposure, it seems like the most popular songs these days deal with more "normal" concepts as well. And you see a lot more producers projecting their own personal lives into their songs since now "fanon" isn't so prevalent and Vocaloids are serving their original purpose more.

The most popular handful right now (kemu, Last Note, JimmyThumb, 40meterP, Deco*47, Neru) tend to stick to that theme of school girls and/or breakups set to pop-rock with high BPM that seems to appeal to a LOT of people and also There are exceptions to this of course (Sasakure.UK, Mitchie M, OSTER project), but really it just comes down to digging around for the kind of producers that make the kind of songs that appeal to you.

(Kind of like how the more popular Coldplay gets, the more bland their music becomes, lol)

What kind of music genres are you into, OP? I can narrow down some suggestions for you.
