# City Street Sing-Alongs The Sing! Karaoke Kiosk Brings Vancouver's Varried Residents Together By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-10-14 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sing-karaoke-kiosk References: [collabcubed](http://collabcubed.com/2012/09/17/sing-karaoke-kiosk/) & [urbanrepublic](http://www.urbanrepublic.ca/sing/about/) Music has always been a brilliant means of bringing people together. The Sing! Karaoke Kiosk was set up as a way to unite the very diverse population of Vancouver, Canada, based on a collective appreciation for pop music. The bright red stand could be found moving around city, set up on three occasions over a two week period. Interested passers-by could approach the box, select their desired language and choose from an extensive library of songs to belt out on the red carpet. Participating in regular social karaoke takes a bit of courage, so it would be inspiring to see the brave performers step up to entertain crowds of strangers at the Urban Republic Arts Society's Sing! Karaoke Kiosk. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Regional](https://www.trendhunter.com/regional) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Social Karaoke:** The success of Sing!
