#meme status or not vocaloid still occupies a niche market even if it's popular

Hm...

It’s somehow a little surreal to me that I can walk into a Five Below and buy Miku stickers.

#i shoulda' taken a pic #but yeah #i don't go out much anymore but it's kinda weird to me that hatsune miku #is basically a mainstream entity #i mean i don't think every rando would recognize her in the same way they would recognize a dragonball or a pokemon #but i think she's gotten to a point where people that hear the name will at least know #that she's associated with music and isn't an anime #maybe~ #or they'll think she invented minecraft and HP or whatever #she's basically a meme #but that high visibility has allowed her to escape the confines of hot topic that not all anime and anime styled properties can #usually only the big shonen can so it amuses me that something as niche as miku can achieve that #meme status or not vocaloid still occupies a niche market even if it's popular
