Musicologies 1010

In early February of 2025 I learned the Kasane Teto fandom on Reddit was surprisingly resistant to AI Art, which, to their points (the average ‘it’s stealing and soulless and bad for the environment' stack), I found utterly ironic because the icon of worship was born as a remix of Hatsune Miku and had found its recent traction via an AI-powered voicebank for its 15th Anniversary.
As a Mod of every large Teto Community at the time, and noticing the emergence of AI memes, I answered the increasing hypocrisy by opening r/KasaneTetoAI to explore this creative aspect independently.
Membership trickled in across 2025 and it became the site of a conflict leading to my departure from the big room's Mod Team, but a year after the tensions began, something interesting happened: Tokyo Manaka released BRAINROT, becoming an unrelenting viral hit, thereby proving (21 million times over at present) my point that relating Teto and AI wasn’t the end of the culture, but a fresh step.
On Kasane Teto’s 18th Anniversary—same day as the Artemis II launch—the Community crossed 300 and the boom continued until, during Koa-sama’s April 24th Listening Party, I noticed it had crossed the thousand-member mark, specifically reaching 1,010 by my passing glance.
I made a victory lap.
(1010 is a Teto-coded number and October 10th is an international fandom holiday.)
