Collective Fanmade Vocaloids
There have been several total conversions of the original vocaloids made to resemble certain stereotypes or pop-culture references and often include several vocaloids under a single banner. These total conversions change the style of both the songs they sing and the art they are shown in. Though mostly satisfying a niche audience, they have a devoted fanbase and have many songs to their name.
Genderbent Vocaloids
Genderbent Vocaloids are Vocaloids with the gender switched. This is very common among American fandom. Usually Genderbent Vocaloids are actually Vocaloid songs pitch-changed to create a male or female song; they are rarely songs made with a different voice configuration.
The Hagane Vocaloids
The Hagane Vocaloids are a group whose image and songs are based around the heavy metal genre of music, particularly death metal and the majority being Nu-metal. They are often heard using the same voice setup as the original vocaloids but seldomly use audio distortion to push their vocal ranges to extremes to achieve a growling effect. Most Hagane songs rely on double bass and blast beat drum techniques along with heavier tuned guitars and bass to give that "down" effect usually used in metal today to achieve quality 'breakdowns'.
Human Vocaloids (VOCALOID Fan Singers/Dubbers)
Human Vocaloids (referred to as such due to their vocaloid-centric nature) are live singers with Vocaloid-inspired avatars. Some of them may attempt to sound like a Vocaloid using their own voices. They usually sing music that were composed to be sung/or covered by any of the official/fanmade Vocaloids. They are prevalent in Nico-Nico Douga but are present as well in YouTube. They are sometimes called Uttate Mita in Nico-Nico Douga, though it pertains to singers that do not use such avatars.
Voyakiloid
Voyakiloid (read as "grouching vocaloid") is a group of derived Vocaloid characters that represents failure. These characters are often portrayed as negative, down and unhappy, unlike the typical mainstream characters. Several Voyakiloid characters have been made by fans that reflect frustration in getting them to sound and sing right, although this is not always the case.
