Tbh speaking as someone who was a child and active online in the 2010s when vocaloid was bigger in the Murican sphere of the net and creepypastas were a thing, I am not really surprised about the scary vocaloid stuff being extremely popular then or even now. This is just my limited view as someone who wasn't super deep into vocaloid (but still liked it and still enjoys a good vocaloid song), but they always reminded me a lot of creepypasta? A lot of these vocaloid music videos could be taken as lost episodes or just generally darker reimaginings of the characters. Hell there's an entire creepypasta called The Alice Killings which references the vocaloid song "Alice Human Sacrifice."

So even now I'm not shocked at all that people may be hoping for more creepy vocaloid stuff. There's the people like me who grew up on this stuff and would like it, and then there's the new batch of young kids getting into horror and creepy music through stuff like creepypasta themed FnF mods, analog and other similar indie horror works (and those are definitely the modern day creepypastas). Plus there are probably still scary Miku songs being made out there as we speak.

Sorry I know this wasn't a post asking WHY these things were/are so loved, it just kinda popped into my head as I was reading this (I'm sorry if I'm blowing up your inbox btw)
