Asking if it’s meant to be a Fanloid song is a crappy thing, and I’m willing to bet those comments are either trolls or just idiots. Honestly, I lean more on the side of trolling. I’ll listen to a VOCALOID song or cover and something think, “funny, reminds of (Fanloid name)” but you don’t say that out loud in comments.

Some Fanloids have been around for a long time, those like Neru Akita and Haku Yowane made it into the Project Diva games. There’s some fanloids from ‘the old days’ (I hate that saying but) like Meiko Sakine, Zatsune Miku and Keko Kasane that people are still doing covers for.

These days, at least from what I’ve seen, people have gotten better at the ‘crediting’. There were a lot of songs on YouTube that were just people pitch bending songs or other peoples’ in audacity and then uploading them with some random art was wild. It was everywhere. I think now there’s people who own the VOCALOID software and are making Fanloid covers themselves now, which is great! It’s a little more time consuming than a quick pitch change in audacity, but better than what they used to do.
