How much do you listen to vocal synth music?

[Blue Of Mind]

This is the first time I've created a poll, so if anything's wrong or isn't working properly, please let me know so I can fix it. ^^;

I got kinda curious about how often we listen to vocal synth music on here, since while I listen to it almost every day, I also listen to non-vocal synth stuff (i.e. human singers and instrumentals) just as much. So I guess I'm around 50:50 with my music habits at this point.

I've added rough percentages of how much someone might listen to vocal synths on average. I think I need a better word than "Frequently" for the 75% vocal synths option, since "frequently" can be synonymous with "mostly", but I couldn't find a better word at the time I wrote this post up. These are all "circa" figures, so don't take the numbers extremely literally if you know your listening habits are something like, 60:40 vocal synth to non-vocal synth, for example.

Pretty often, although I've had to try and add non video game or vocal synth music to my ipod to keep it from being, well, just that

 

[FlowerPalette]

I listen only vocal synth music <3

For the past year I've been listening to vocal synth music almost exclusively. Before that it was probably 40% of the time.

this is interesting to think about, because i have been super into vocaloid for a long time. but i think i have far more interest in the technical side (using it, understanding it) and not nessecarily the fan-ish side of indulging in music/fan art/fan fic/etc.... i *do* listen to vocal synth songs but not that much in comparison to my normal taste. maybe thats because no one makes vocal synth songs in the genres i love haha... but i tend to click on new releases when i see them in my feed. i sometimes get in a mood to just listen to vocal synth songs on a playlist i made. but i dont tend to mix my vocal synth playlist with my other music, often listening to non-vocal synth things on the norm. i put occasionally but i would say it more like 30-40%

For a large part of my life it used to be like 99%, it was essentially all I listened to. Very rarely did I listen to a non vocal synth song.
Nowadays, I think it's fallen below 50%. I've just been exploring a lot of different music lately.

I used to listen to it a lot but now I rarely do so due to Youtube's changes regarding community subtitles.

Almost exclusively. Only on occasion I listen to other stuff, also in my work van I have the radio on, although I don't particularly listen to it, it's just on to cover the engine and tire noise.

If I were to guess, 80-90% of songs I have and listen to are vocalsynth related. The other percent are just older songs for nostalgia sake or songs that are good enough to buy/download. Maybe I'm wrong, since I have a huge library...

Ever since I got into Vocaloid and stuff, the songs on the radio doesn't feel the same way anymore(at least not songs nowadays. they are just bland and lifeless in comparison).

I cycle between metal and vocalsynth material. I usually have XM Liquid Metal playing in my car, but if I'm in a particular mood I'll just blast GimmexGimme and Assassin Princess the whole ride home.

I find I mostly listen to vocal synth music--I've discovered that once you start listening the vocal synth music with its variety of songs out there, it's hard to go back? Though I find the occasional non-vocal synth song that I like and add it to my playlist. At the risk of sounding like some old fogy, I can't really stand the music they play on the radio anymore 'cuz it just sounds kinda bland and lifeless as Bubblystar said (also I'm sick of the lyrical content--can we have something that's not a breakup song, depressing, objectifying, or borderline lewd, please? How about something... nice? I know vocal synth music has those aspects as well, but at the very least I can avoid it if I'm not intrested, or the music is good enough to outweigh my distaste for the lyrics).
Also I just love me some synthesized voices, haha.

These days I'm listening to vocal synth music every day. General electronic and rock is still really close to my heart, but I listen to this community's songs every day and like creating my own stuff, too. There's just such a huge cache of extremely good and often underappreciated music coming out of this community constantly and sites like NND make discovery so easy. I don't know if anything else quite like it exists and I think we're really experiencing a second 'golden age' right now.

I occasionally listen to it, I don't listen to it as much as I used to

I'd say maybe 10% or under! I tend to only listen to synth music when I'm tuning or there's news on here because it's not what I'm into (which explains why i tune the same 3 songs over and over fgdgddf). And like Morry, I'm more interested in the technical side (tuning, mixing, etc) than the music that the fandom has to offer. That's not to say synth music isn't great, because it often is, it's just not to my tastes the majority of the time!
