Know Your Hawaii V-Tuber Audience

Hawaii is too Chill for Business Sometimes: so chill people can easily get comfortable, very comfortable, and let it become a lifestyle. If they are overly relaxed they may not sweat the extra effort to do something, they might not care about time slots as much, and be pretty flexible with their friends as to have a chill-mindset and see hanging out as an opportunity rather than a planned engagement as it can be seen as taking the fun out of it from their point of view. This sort of chilling without purpose can lead to a lack of definition and allows those who spend the time to define it under their perspective. When ideas are taken from Hawaii there isn't much repercussions or gathering to strengthen those ideas within Hawaii, but people tend to just let it go. 

We Gottah Figure Out Hawaii's Business Problem for Creators: For example when Panda Express founder stole the idea of Patti's Chinese Kitchen, or when Annamillers and Yum Yum Tree were inspirations for Akihabara's Maid Cafe scene. Where is the the updated versions of those concepts within Hawaii? There is a reason for that though and it can be from Hawaii's unfriendliness to brick and mortar businesses (2025. Dead Last in  National Report for Business Friendliness). Where are the Maid Cafes with the Maid Streamers (post-pandemic norm) and the Maid Merch for their personal Patreons? Where is the Otakushoku (otaku food) and the Restaurants that make them with a Food Wars like competitions?

Hawaii Works People like a Third World Country: With people being so tired from work due to Hawaii's financial woes its only natural for people to want to take that route. Hawaii has beautiful people, amazing landscapes, and looks the part of a tropical escapist destination. While aloha is a great concept of social-etiquette there are times that people can take advantage of it if they have bad-motivations through "fake sincerity" where the aloha can make things come easy at times for those who play and adapt into local-society and "abuse-friendships" often in a strange roundabout way where it can take years to catch on to them. It also causes many situations of made up "self victimization" and confuses people on if their friend is actually depressed or actually going to leave a job or actually going to do something about it.

Locals Don't Even Know Local, because learning information takes connections in a network and time that people in Hawaii don't have due tot he toxic "Overwork Culture" that is normalized as the default grindset. Journalists don't have time as they are underpaid to properly cover topics of history and leaves it up to people who do it as passion projects that doesn't pay anyones bills in a time where reading is at its lowest (155,000 in Hawaii considered "functionally illiterate"). The preferred communication method is not reading as 30% would do it if they have the time and 70% people prefer watching videos over reading text. The internet is not as accessible as it was before with websites being controlled in their traffic from Search Engines (Google 90% market-control. 2025). Algorithms restrict user searches primarily through personalization and filtering, which create "filter bubbles" and "echo chambers". And the opportunity to learn about Hawaii other than the through Tourism is stifled.

Residential Rotation in Hawaii: This is the ultimate stagnator and maker of the brain drain to rich man scheme. A study of JABSOM (John A. Burns School of Medicine) revealed that 40% of people stay in Hawaii to live with 20% not moving to the mainland later. This suggests that some residents leave the state for their residency of their careers and leave their families, their inherited cultures, their lifestyle of subculture, their built movements and legacies, their mark on the island and take it with them somewhere with little chances to return. This resident-drain is a online community gain, because the Hawaii Internet (community of hawaii people) is one of the strongest online with most discussions being based on diaspora and pockets of communities. This doesn't mean the Otaku Community is stronger there as a sociology student study at Kapiolani Community College has shown teenagers and young adults ages of 16-26 and many seem to not have time to commit the time and money to the interest after that age. It is a consumer-based culture that tends to overlook local-community developments that are incredibly short lived within the Otaku-community itself, do to the people leading those movements only staying as their finances allow them to continue. While subcultures like Otaku die quickly in real life in Hawaii they are very strong online with the Overwatch community saying "Otaku Culture Never Dies" in reference to strong documentation of Otaku Culture development in Hawaii.

Hawaii's Online Scene is small even if it wants to be stronger and center itself people can't seem to work together for a stronger cause due to differentiating opinions and not wanting to follow a set of rules. Many choose to do their own thing instead of making a movement that has guidelines to follow to create a "Hawaii Online Vibe" of inclusivity, because it isn't as independent and isn't catered and requires a person to give up some of their control when in those spaces. Due to subcultures and movements being quick to burnout from their initial and stronger than most other areas burning light there isn't anything that tends to stick too long in Hawaii, even online. This is also due to a mentality of pulling down one another called "Crabs in a Bucket" that Hawaii people seem incredibly prone to. Some say it is because it is a "Poor Mindset" of financial struggle and self sabotage (Being a Crab). A lot of groups end up self-sabotaging themselves into oblivion, almost like one tribe attacking another tribe and the independent vision of those inside the tribe start to attack one another until both tribes fall from within. What they are fighting for is small as well, since Hawaii has a limited number of money routes when restricted in the state that make it that much harder to live in the state. 

There are some ways people perceive Hawaii scenes online that are discussed in the deep trenches of the old internet and oftentimes on discord servers with no specific consensus of the Hawaii sound. But there are patterns in the comment sections and the analysis of peoples personal information of their Spotify listening to status's that can be hard to track and one on one discussions that are usually deleted making it hard to prove there is any particular base-sound for Hawaii, same thing for a base-subculture, a base-food, and the list goes on. This leads to subculture transience where a subculture is born and then dies and becomes something else and repeats every two or three years and is a stark warning about the challenge of sustained cultural, food, political, lifestyle, and values based movements in Hawaii. And many residents suspect this is by design to keep Hawaii from developing possible cracks in its national control.

When it comes to EDM it rides on the New and people in Hawaii tend to ride on the Old to a fault where everything new is restricted in many peoples minds or "Kapu" (the law) of not making anything new as it insults history, ancestors, and multigenerational folk in a sort of culture-wars. When it comes to genres like Hawaii-R&B there are sets of artists that are gender associated: Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Bruno Mars, Mariah Carey, Prince, Silk Sonic, Bell Biv DeVoe, Pussycat Dolls, M-Flow, BoA, and Utada Hikaru. Hawaii Soft Rock is usually believed to be molded by more a mixture of national figures and local figures like: Kalapana, Cecilio & Kapono, Eagles, Stevie Wonder, Chicago, and Kenny Loggins.
