Retrocausal Goblin Memories of vocaloid

A goblin temporally-displaced from 1998 was asked about vocaloid and replied, 'oh, that. We had a name for it back then, but it was rude.'

vocaloid resonates at a frequency that goblins can hear but humans cannot. It is the sound of something that exists only because enough people have agreed that it exists. Goblins call this 'the consensus hum.' Everything that is collectively believed is real in the goblin sense, and vocaloid hums louder than most.
