Yes, at the end people are just calling the same type of product with the name of the most famous producer of that product, right?
For how I see it, it's not that different from calling every type of tissue "Scottex"

is it just me or do I prefer more niche vocaloids?(I also like a lot of mainstream vocaloids such as Miku and Gackupo btw) cause like, I swear that nobody knows about Zunko, Mo Qingxian, Miki, and others aside from maybe a few viral songs that use them, such as Insanity which uses Miki. And before you all come running at me with pitchforks and torches, no, i'm not like "Oh YoU NEeD to KNoW niChE vOCaloIdS to Be a TRuE fAN lIKe ME!!" I just feel like there are many underrated vocaloids that should be more known in general, not that they all need to become mainstream, though I'm NOT saying that all niche vocaloids sound good though or deserve more recognition... cause like, sorry gachapoid, but you're kinda buns imo

I don't think any of these are even unpopular opinions. These are almost all opinions I saw daily on VocaTWT when I used to be on there. Maybe the Piko opinion is different because I don't think people in the modern day hate his guts.
Also, I'm sure if you go to BiliBili you'd find a lot of examples of the Chinese Vocaloids being used. Not as much on Youtube or NicoNico (though Youtube has a lot of them).
good to know these aren't actually unpopular opinions for the most part, I just don't personally see them often myself so I assumed they were more unpopular opinions lol
This centers around vocalost, but it's still an unpopular opinion as far as I know... I just feel like some songs should stay lost, and for various reasons, cause yes, well I am curious about what certain lost songs sound like other than the vocaranks we have of them, I know that it doesn't really matter if we get to actually hear the full song. not saying people have to stop trying to find certain lost songs, people can do whatever to find lost songs and idc about it, but I just feel that it doesn't matter if certain songs are found or lost, such as Dream Club and Sleepyx3 as many people want both songs found, but I don't care too much for them
Huge agree. It doesn’t help that some parts of the vocalost fandom are very disrespectful to wiki spaces and producers. I don’t want to place value on individual songs, and I get that it sucks when producers start nuking their old stuff OkameP comes to mind, but sometimes I feel like that energy could be put to use finding songs with more historical interest too. I remember someone here posted about finding a defunct forum that had a bunch of no-longer-downloadable LOLA/LEON/MIRIAM songs from before 2009 and thinking “man, vocalost needs to get on THAT”. (But maybe someone IS out there looking, and I just don’t know because they’re drowned out by a million “I FOUND INTERFACE” posts.)
I was just going to post my own thoughts about Vocaloid lost media until I saw the discussion! But my thoughts are more boring - mainly, I feel there's a lot of time being spent on songs that are either not that interesting or are just plain crap. I've listened to some songs that have been recovered recently, but the only thing I can think of is "Why were people looking for this? It sounds awful." I know being an indie scene, we have a much lower bar for what qualifies as a "good" song, and it's never fair to compare bedroom productions with professional ones, but I honestly think there's a reason some producers of lost songs deleted them in the first place lol.
I'm also sick of people screaming for Interface to be found, but this is mainly due to my personal dislike of Masa-P.
