Okay, so here are my thoughts: The Microtonal Funk honestly sounded more enjoyable than most Funk I've heard... Black MIDI... Sounds like my computer is glitching out... Simpsonwave sounded very enjoyable to me. Pop Lowercase sounded pretty much like some chill Country. I think the video you did with Adam Neely, where you perform "4:33" is a better example of Lowercase, really... Kawaii Metal was kinda... weird. But then again, everything gets weird once the Korg Miku is involved. Overall rating: 5/5 - Would listen again.

Playing quartertones is the "nice and simple" version of microtonal music, but a lot of microtonal musicians actually choose to divide the octave in a number of equal divisions other than the standard 12. The album Spidermilk by "mathrock" band The Mercury Tree is in 17 EDO (17 equal divisions in an octave), and Cryptic Ruse"s doomy/sludgy "Our Crumbling Psychic Infrastructure" uses 13, 17, 21, 22 and 46 EDO. Both are incredible in my opinion, not only because of the weirdness factor, but also as works of music. Also, I think both lowercase and "kawaii metal" (Babymetal, basically) were featured in a "Top 10 weird genres" video that went out years ago... so that a lot of people heard of at least these two genres :)

Interesting enough, there is already a metal genre quite similar to synthoid kawaii metal called vocaloid metal . The main theme of the genre is that the vocals are created with the Vocaloid synthesizer software. However, what separates vocaloid metal from kawaii metal is that popular vocaloid metal artists like Utsu-P write their lyrics more around edgy subjects than kawaii subjects. It is really amazing how vocaloid metal artists can create death growls and other metal vocal techniques just from synthesizer software.

4;47 something that came to my mind just before what you were wondering: You can convert an audio track into midi, and that will sound like a cluster of notes, so much that sometimes you can even hear the words of the original file. It might depends on settings. But if you do that, clean it a bit up and tweak it to preferences it could easily be a way to incorporate millions of notes without being Too random.
