alright vocaloid hmm. i dont think theres a right way to start but maybe you should get to know the "classics" first. i'd recommend checking out unhappy refrain and the monochrome disc, both albums by wowaka. his work is like a milestone in vocaloid history. but if you dont feel like listening to the entirety of the albums, go for the tracks rolling girl, world's end dancehall, unkown mother goose and uraomote lovers. outside wowaka i also think you'd enjoy karakuri pierrot, melt, deep sea girl, freely tomorrow and magnet. these are some of my favourite most well-known songs ^_^
and although series like story of evil follow a specific concept, theres no official lore when it comes to vocaloid, it'll depend solely on what story the producer wanted to tell. its sorta like... only true while the song is going? you have to think of them as instruments rather than characters yk. its honestly kinda confusing at first but you get used to it.
but please keep in mind some producers tend to touch very sensitive topics, and some are straight up nasty. avoid songs by kikuo at all costs, dude's weird (dw i included more upbeat songs, although the lyrics may not match the vibe 100% of the time, they arent super depressing i promise!!)
oh and if the voices sound too "crunchy" its bc some of these songs are old as hell and the tuning wasnt as sophisticated back then. some current voicebanks sound almost human! well i guess this does it for a start. my god this was lenghty. hope its not too confusing x_x

omgjsjxisjd this is so nice and in depth, thank you so much 😭🫶🏻 i genuinely just never knew where to start w vocaloid and would listen to random stuff in the past (mainly the creepier ones that ppl like talking abt LOL), so i’ll definitely listen to all of these recs super soon :3
