“Lie Meme” is a song by the Vocaloid producer PinocchioP, released in May 2024.

The track’s light, techno-pop-and-electronica-infused sound and snappy melodies leave a strong impression.

Lyrically, it vividly captures the “now,” in which people pile on lies in search of others’ approval, striking deeply at our hearts.

It’s a Vocaloid song that can prompt us to reflect on how we live.
