* DieForOurShip: Rather oddly, ''Miku'' gets this all the time from hardcore Rin[=/=]Len shippers who perceive her as a ClingyJealousGirl, even though genuine Len[=/=]Miku shippers or even songs are almost nonexistent.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Kaito, when he was released, was Crypton's poorest-selling Vocaloid release. A little after Miku came out, his popularity suddenly skyrocketed. He is still the only largely popular Vocaloid from the Vocaloid1 line.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: Opinions vary ''quite'' a bit on what, if anything, the song ''Rolling Girl'' could be about, with theories ranging from suicide to an abusive relationship. Also, the writer of ''Alice Human Sacrifice'' explicitly subverted the trope- according to him, (roughly translated) "it's a series of events with the Vocaloids, nothing else. Sorry."
* FanDumb: Fans fight over depictions of certain characters or pairings that they don't agree with, even though there's no real canon and the Vocaloids have no official personalities. Thus all characterisation is strictly {{Fanon}}, any pairing is ''possible'', and fan popularity (or lack thereof) can't really change either of those things.
** The fact that the Vocaloids don't have a personality would question why people would dislike or like a character OR pairing. Guess it's all about the outside.
** It's not all about the outside, because they ALL have {{Fanon}} personalities. And also some people are shipping pairing because of songs they liked, leading to hating ''other'' songs because they advocate ships that aren't in the first song they heard.
** Every time a Vocaloid comes out, according to the FanDumb, it's unoriginal, its voice sucks, or the design is unoriginal/bland/horrible. Or all of the above.
** There are people out there who still think that only the Crypton Vocaloids are the "official" ones (and for some reason throw in Teto as being "official"). So all of the others are "unofficial"?
* {{Fanon}}: Vocaloids might just be the greatest example ever of this trope. Absolutely nothing save for the designs and the voices were determined by WordOfGod. Crypton even backpedaled on their statement that the [[MeaningfulName Kagamines were mirror images]].
** If a Miku song about love becomes a hit, rest assured an "Another" video will come out with Kaito's version.
** If there is a series of popular songs, the [[WordofGod song creator's word]] will often be ignored by the fans. The Dark Woods Circus series has it particularly bad. Everyone believes Wide Knowledge of the Late Madness is its prequel; despite what the fanmade PV implies, Machigerita-P has said it isn't. Even if the fans are aware that Wide Knowledge isn't part of the series, most will mess up the order of the songs.

** Although most Vocaloid songs are straight GirlsLove or BoysLove when this is concerned, ''World's End Dance Hall'' is rife with ambiguity. Depending on the PV, what Miku and Luka have going on is FoeYay, RomanticTwoGirlFriendship, RescueRomance, a SuicidePact, UnresolvedSexualTension... the only thing missing so far is a PV that actually has an explicit romantic relationship.
* HypeBacklash: Whenever a famous producer (cosMo, Akuno-P, ryo/supercell, wowaka, etc.) publishes a new song, there will always be a horde of people hating the song (to counter the huge horde of people who love the song regardless of the quality because of its composer).

* InternetBackdraft: Fans weren't exactly thrilled with Gakupo and Megpoid's designs when they were first announced... and that's putting it nicely. Both have since gotten a lot more positive reception, thanks to their songs.
** Hell, take ANY new Vocaloid when it's first released. The [[InternetBackdraft Backdraft]] is inevitable. It'll eventually cool down though.

Due to PowerFX site having no explanation as to why the designs were there, it took about 48 hours(plus) until an employee informed the fanbase that the design were for the Taiwanese market.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The first version of Rin and Len is no longer sold; their [=ACT2=] version, which many producers consider inferior, is sold as the standard Rin/Len issue. In order to get the first Rin/Len release, you need to find a seller of the original version, which is near impossible, or (god forbid) pirate.

* MostAnnoyingSound - The whole premise of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeNfa3f5ePQ My boyfriend's wallet appeared to be velcro-fastened]]. Well, that and CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* NeedsMoreLove: Several of the songs by the English singing Vocaloid2, like ''Your Side'' by Sweet Ann, only become modest hits despite being [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xn1241CtJE very good and catchy]]. Most of the good original songs by the UTAU just get buried, such as ''Ecnaraeppasid'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVw_MPG066c by Amane Luna]].
* NightmareFuel: [[{{NightmareFuel.Vocaloid}} has its own page]].
* RonTheDeathEater: Any Vocaloid other than a Kagamine paired with either of the Kagamine twins. Usually from the particularly [[DieForOurShip vehement]] {{Twincest}} supporters.
* ShipToShipCombat: Where the hell do I start? There's the Len X Rin {{Twincest}} pairing, most of whose supporters abhor either of them being paired with anyone else (in which the feeling is mutual) and then there's the yaoi pairings which garner the most overall hate from the Vocaloid community, especially the Len X Rin shippers. [[FanWank Good god.]]
** Worst part is that they should know that in the end, none of these are canon and never will be, making all the fighting pretty much pointless.
** Funnily, there's a small skirmish between [[TeamMom Meiko]]/[[TeamDad Kaito]] versus [[MarySue Miku]]/Kaito. The skirmish aren't that fierce and rarely present, unlike DieForOurShip-things like [[TwinCest Rin]]/[[ScrewYourself Len]] vs [[LauncherOfAThousandShips one of them/whatever]], mostly appear as IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy.
*** However, admitting to either side that you ship [[TakeAThirdOption Kaito/Luka]] or [[{{Shotacon}} Kaito/Len]] will probably not be well-received (though again, usually not to the level of the Kagamine diehards. Usually.)
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Let's be honest, who's actually more fond of "Benzene" and "Nitrobenzene" than "Paradichlorobenzene" and "Anti-Chlorobenzene"?
** [[AdaptationDisplacement Some weren't even aware of those songs prior to Paradichlorobenzene to begin with.]]
* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/{{Vocaloid}} Has a page.]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Sonika make-over 2009 and Miku Append in 2010. Fandom reaction was a mix of positive and negative.
** This is surprisingly averted with Rin and Len's appends, as most of the fandom tends to love them.
*** And yet there are also [[UnpleasableFanbase a large amount of people]] saying that the Kagamine Appends are [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks too close to the originals]].
** Overlaps into MemeticMutation with Kaito, whose covers of other songs typically have the lyrics changed to reflect... ice cream. In particular, songs once written to describe romantic love (SPICE!, Love is War, Melt...) are redone to reflect Kaito's equivalent love for "aisu"; taken to an extreme with a version of "For the Longest Time" with all the lyrics replaced by Engrish-y ice cream flavors.
** And now a new contender, Big Al and Sweet Ann's Taiwanese designs.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The first version of Rin and Len is no longer sold; their [=ACT2=] version, which many producers consider inferior, is sold as the standard Rin/Len issue. In order to get the first Rin/Len release, you need to find a seller of the original version, which is near impossible, or (god forbid) pirate.
* MemeticMutation:
** Miku became one when somebody had her ''cover a song that was '''already''' a memetic mutation''.
*** Leekspin is now associated about equally with [[{{Bleach}} Orihime]] and Miku.
** [=Takoluka=]. She's slowly winning the hearts of Vocaloid fans on the Internet.
** Toeto Luka, aka loli Luka
** "Sonika says...Hiiiiii!"
** "WHERE ARE OUR DEMOS"
*** Led to the birth of [[http://i55.tinypic.com/xcot44.jpg this]] during the wait for Tonio's demos.
*** And now [[http://oi56.tinypic.com/4pxj4p.jpg this]] during the wait for Piko's, which is a parody of the above.
** [=LamazeP=] (see EarWorm above) seems determined to accomplish this - keep in mind this is the creator of the meme for "GEDDAN".
* MostAnnoyingSound - The whole premise of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeNfa3f5ePQ My boyfriend's wallet appeared to be velcro-fastened]]. Well, that and CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* NeedsMoreLove: Several of the songs by the English singing Vocaloid2, like ''Your Side'' by Sweet Ann, only become modest hits despite being [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xn1241CtJE very good and catchy]]. Most of the good original songs by the UTAU just get buried, such as ''Ecnaraeppasid'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVw_MPG066c by Amane Luna]].
* NightmareFuel: [[{{NightmareFuel.Vocaloid}} has its own page]].
* RonTheDeathEater: Any Vocaloid other than a Kagamine paired with either of the Kagamine twins. Usually from the particularly [[DieForOurShip vehement]] {{Twincest}} supporters.
* ShipToShipCombat: Where the hell do I start? There's the Len X Rin {{Twincest}} pairing, most of whose supporters abhor either of them being paired with anyone else (in which the feeling is mutual) and then there's the yaoi pairings which garner the most overall hate from the Vocaloid community, especially the Len X Rin shippers. [[FanWank Good god.]]
** Worst part is that they should know that in the end, none of these are canon and never will be, making all the fighting pretty much pointless.
** Funnily, there's a small skirmish between [[TeamMom Meiko]]/[[TeamDad Kaito]] versus [[MarySue Miku]]/Kaito. The skirmish aren't that fierce and rarely present, unlike DieForOurShip-things like [[TwinCest Rin]]/[[ScrewYourself Len]] vs [[LauncherOfAThousandShips one of them/whatever]], mostly appear as IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy.
*** However, admitting to either side that you ship [[TakeAThirdOption Kaito/Luka]] or [[{{Shotacon}} Kaito/Len]] will probably not be well-received (though again, usually not to the level of the Kagamine diehards. Usually.)
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: Let's be honest, who's actually more fond of "Benzene" and "Nitrobenzene" than "Paradichlorobenzene" and "Anti-Chlorobenzene"?
** [[AdaptationDisplacement Some weren't even aware of those songs prior to Paradichlorobenzene to begin with.]]
* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/{{Vocaloid}} Has a page.]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Sonika make-over 2009 and Miku Append in 2010. Fandom reaction was a mix of positive and negative.
** This is surprisingly averted with Rin and Len's appends, as most of the fandom tends to love them.
*** And yet there are also [[UnpleasableFanbase a large amount of people]] saying that the Kagamine Appends are [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks too close to the originals]].
** Overlaps into MemeticMutation with Kaito, whose covers of other songs typically have the lyrics changed to reflect... ice cream. In particular, songs once written to describe romantic love (SPICE!, Love is War, Melt...) are redone to reflect Kaito's equivalent love for "aisu"; taken to an extreme with a version of "For the Longest Time" with all the lyrics replaced by Engrish-y ice cream flavors.
** And now a new contender, Big Al and Sweet Ann's Taiwanese designs.

* {{OT3}}: Vocaloid shippers like to choose three of the female Japanese Vocaloids (at first mostly Vocaloids 00, 01, and one half of the reflection of 02 before Megurine Luka), but another common [=OT3=] came shortly. With a third male Japanese Vocaloid, an obvious conclusion: Gakupo Kamui was tacked on to Kaito/Kagamine Len when he came onto the scene.
** With Hiyama Kiyoteru (AKA Senseiloid) and Big Al, there will be an [=OT3=] without shota for some shippers... Not that {{Shotacon}} with Len is a completely bad thing.
*** Then again, with the aptly-named Voiceroid [[MeaningfulName Shouta]], one can turn the {{Shotacon}} quotient of an [=OT3=] UpToEleven.
*** There is now an [=OT3=] composed of adults for the Japanese (Gakupo, Kaito, Kiyoteru) and the Western (Big Al, Tonio, Leon) Vocaloids. If they announce another shota (there are rumors that the next Crypton Vocaloid will be somewhere in between), then, there'll be a shota [=OT3=] as well (doesn't really matter if Shouta's a voiceroid).
**** The anthropomorphized version of Gachapoid may be considered as part of the shota group.
**** Len, Gachapoid and Piko. Shota [=OT3=] complete.
***** Only if Gachapoid [[FanonDiscontinuity exists]] [[BrokenBase for you]].

** Just about any song made by daniwell. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkKIallVLs Nyanyanyanyanyanyanya!]], anyone?
* UncannyValley: The Vocaloid voices can certainly dip into this, if their composer doesn't play a few tricks with their voice quality first.

** Hiyama Kiyoteru's scream at the end of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY8R9Bpg69Y Guilty Verse]] sounds realistic enough to be extremely creepy.
