>knowing all of this means effectively nothing as we both know that none of this is technically set into stone, and there is also no way any japanese person knows these genres or thinks of them that deeply. i have very rarely ever heard a japanese artist replicate a western genre. it typically sounds like they are trying to mesh western EDM genres they've heard before, but always sound like something completely different. it's like they're using our VSTs but the closest they ever got to a club was mixcloud.
Not sure about this one. Maybe it's not frequent in Vocaloid, but in J-core it seems like they often like to label their works with genres. The whole Camellia's shtick is how well he mixes different genres together. But yeah, they do mix them a lot and can produce something very unique. Western music feels very same-y for me, all songs within specific sub genres of techno, trance and dnb sound the same, just maybe a bit different progression and timber. On the other hands japanese compositors just take inspiration from them and mix and match them to produce something really unique and interesting. I have seen some /mu/fags seething over it, claiming it's atrocious, but I like that very much.

Miku...
