      Thank you for mentioning them 👏 Jarvis talked a lot about Hatsune Miku in the last video (as he should! She's iconic and super relevant to all this) but Gorillaz have been doing the virtual band thing incredibly well for yeeeaaars. They even have a mini podcast lol

      they've done it so much better too. even gorillaz' early stuff is fantastic, especially compared to these 'metaverse artists'. gorillaz and vocaloid don't need to constantly remind you that 'hey, this is fictional!' because the stuff produced is genuinely great on its own.

    I've noticed this with Polar, and I feel that I should mention it: These virtual artists are SO UNEXPRESSIVE. The temporary model I made in VRoid Studio is more expressive than Polar & Meka. While Polar's hair bounces, there is no expression in her face. And for Meka, his braids don't even move, and his movements have no bounce. The clothes (especially the necklace he wears) don't bounce or move with his movement. Not only that, his face feels more like a character suited more for a horror game than an influencer. Emotions are an integral part of who we are. This is why animation places an emphasis on exaggerating the emotions of a character; the facial expression and body language can help the viewer know how the character is feeling in that moment. Especially when the viewer is autistic (including myself), since we often struggle with figuring out how people are feeling when there's either little emotion or none at all visibly shown, the exaggeration that is an essential part of animation helps us know the emotions of the character.
    I'm aware that I'm being harsh, but as an artist who draws characters and designs them I need to mention these things for those who aren't that familiar with it.

      It's why I don't watch vtubers. There's no expression in their faces, the range is so limited! Yeah, nice that their tits are animated to bounce but when the lips just open and close and the rest of the face stays mostly blank, I'm better off just watching a streamer with their camera off.

      @@Human_85 Asexual just means "lacking sexual attraction." So there's a wide range of relationships open to an asexual person as long as their partner(s) are okay with them not feeling that attraction. A lot of asexual people have happy and fullfilling romantic relationships. And some asexual people even enjoy sexual relationships (it's not as wild as it sounds. It happens with people who aren't even asexual too. Those "help a buddy out" relationships, are one example).
      Asexuality is also a spectrum. You have some people who actually do on rare occasion experience sexual attraction, and then you have people who are actually sex repulsed and hate even the idea of it.
      Basically, the take away is that sexual attraction and romance might generally go together, but not always. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    If I see someone trying to pass something off as a "virtual singer", or a "robot singer", or especially an "AI-powered singer", they'd better be using fucking vocal synthesis! It's so tiring as a vocal synth enthusiast every time I hear about some new "virtual singer" and get excited only for it to turn out to be basically another fucking VTuber. Like, animated musicians/bands are fine and all, Gorillaz is great and Studio Killers is one of my favorite bands; I just hate when people try to trick me into mistaking one for the other.

      @@stereo-soulsoundsystem5070 vocal synths are usually made up with sound libraries/voicebanks that hold samples that are strung together using software and/or ai. available vocal synths vary by software company (yamaha's vocaloid, dreamtomic's synthesizer v, cevio). once purchased or with a trial, notes and lyrics (which may require a special alphabet to input) can be drawn usually into a piano roll. tuning (pitch-bending, dynamics) can then be manually done or done by an ai to make vocals sound different. further processing can be done, as it is all up to the producer. it can be time-consuming, but very rewarding with a unique sound. i'd search up tutorials to get a whole feel on the vocal synth process. as a taste for what vocal synths can do, covers that use solaria are very expressive, and hatsune miku is used in many different vibes since she's the most popular.

    The more I'm hearing about FN Meka, the more it sounds like it's a Gorillaz/VTuber type thing -- there's a real life person singing and doing the mo-cap, but they're acting like they're a virtual character as part of the gimmick. Still on the fence about whether or not FN Meka's lyrics were AI generated (then sung by a human being), but I think that's beside the point.

    The thing is that these virtual artists aren't just trying to capitalize on Hatsune Miku, I think they're also trying to capitalize on Vtubers. The difference between what they're doing and why Hatsune Miku and Vtubers are so popular is because with the latter, everyone is perfectly aware that there are humans behind it, and it's not something they're trying to hide lol, and yet, the "virtual" aspect is still a selling point.
    Hatsune Miku is not really her own person or anything like that, she is a voice synthesizer, and the appeal has been that vocaloid producers "bring her to life" with their songs. That has been a huge marketing point for vocaloid since the community came into existence, I think.
    It also has to do with the fact that people like personifying technology. I just wrote about this for school lol, but there was actually a study done about people who own roombas and many of them acted like their roombas had human-like qualities, and some were so attached they even considered them to be on the level of a pet or family member. This information also served as the basis for stuff like Siri and Cortana's personalities. So of course, it works even better with vocaloid because people directly contribute to it and project onto.
    And as for Vtubers, it's a little different... when Kizuna AI says that she's an AI trying to learn about human culture through content creation, we all know that's just a gimmick, and that's why it's fun. The fact that anything is possible in Vtuber lore, but it's still a regular person making normal, relatable content is a huge part of the appeal. It's just fun to pretend it's real for a bit. I once heard someone compare it to a play, where everyone is going along with the illusion for the performance. Virtual artists like FN Meka and Polar don't have that and so they feel manufactured and uncreative and immediately fail.

    I wanna talk about how these metaverse "idols" are quick to lose attention. There are many virtual/animated bands and idols out there, all formed in different years with different styles, and yet they all have dedicated followings. Why? Because these bands and idols have something the metaverse can't achieve: CHARM.
    Look at any virtual idol or band out there: Hatsune Miku, Gorillaz, K/DA, Studio Killers. Even obscure bands like Prozzäk and Vbirds and extremely old bands like Alvin And The Chipmunks and The Archies all have something that make them stand out from each other even if the music isn't all that special. Even Kizuna Ai, an idol who was originally a vtuber, managed to do that and inspired other vtubers to follow her lead and make music for their fans.
    The metaverse idols aren't interesting in design (which are mostly unappealing) or in music or even in personality. They can't build followings because everything has been botted for them. They try to be "innovative" when really these concepts were done years ago and way better. They don't have charm as a result of being an obvious industry plant and are quickly forgotten as they are humiliated for years...As they should be.

    All of these virtual influencers and "musicians" feel so corporate and lifeless. As you said, it really just feels like they're taking a bunch of shit that's popular/cool and make something based off that, but there's absolutely zero heart or passion in it. The goal is literally just to make money, and it shows. I understand that the music business as a whole has been extremely manufactured for a long time now, but this is just so so so much worse.
    Also, as an artist and robot enthusiast: what a bunch of cowards. They're making a robot character, but they make him look fully human except for his weird jaw thing. Like, that's so lame... bad and unappealing character design, 0/10

    It’s a shame that Zero from Steam Powered Giraffe is already a really cool robot character, designed and portrayed by a black man with a gorgeous voice, and actually songs - and a character like this gets way more attention. Different musical genres, but as a band made up of robot themed characters who has been around for at least a decade, it seems to me like anyone making a robot musician character should really take notes from them.
