i know it's probably hard to pick just one but do you have a favorite era or decade or moment of music?

UHM!!!!!! i think jazz fusion is pretty amazing!!!! same with jazz funk! and funk in general. so i guess from the 1960s and 1970s!!!!! taking the technology of the time and making some fucking crazy and wild shit with it, lots of really impressive and great chord structures and Weird decision while mixing guitar, drums, keyboard/piano/synth, electric guitar, bass (and all the ways to play it) idk, so much like, breaking the boundaries and pushing the limits of how to use instruments imo. all time fav right here, and i think its best classified as jazz-funk?

i really love vocaloid for a few reasons, its kind of a genre but like. utsu-p makes heavy metal, kurage-p makes j-pop/metal? its a genre but like, within that there are genres. but a big part of it is the community, i dont think ive seen a more accessable genre anywhere else and it makes me very happy. pinnocchio-p makes videos that often get millions of views, and he almost always put a link in the discription that has downloads to the off vocals but theres like 8 different off vocals you can use cuz each is at a different key so ppl can cover them easier. other vocaloid artists will have off vocals, no drum versions, JUST the drums, one mixed differently than the master, etc. like this is a community where covering eachothers work is part of the genre, i follow so many youtube channels where the ppl just, cover vocaloid songs like 90% of the time. i also like the meta aspect of it, there is/was? a big shutin following towards vocaloid, miku is an anime character essentially, you have artists who can make work without having their face/voice tied to them, and its very online community based so all these just work very well to bring lonelier introverted weebs together imo. a lot of vocaloid songs are about the self aware relationship with a the fan and the synthetic fake voice of someone they put value into and the parasocial relationship, you see a vocaloid artist make a song thats an homage to the community/miku or something and ppl in the comments will often say how it brought them to tears, there is a lot of humanity in vocaloid which is ironic cuz its a synthetic singer

a lot of points i mentioned arent really exclusive to the genres, there is no limit to what box you are pushing the boundaries on or the humanity that shows through art, but these are the genres that i think hit the most for me in that regard
