Nightcore is the most awesome type of remix!

It can be found on youtube remixed by Nightcorikal and many other (but not so good at nightcoring songs) uploaders.
Nightcorikal is the queen of nightcore!

The best way to define nightcore is to take a look at what it REALLY is.

I think of nightcore as a fast and happy version of a song.

nightcore is also the name of a group from the early 2000s

Overall i think that nightcore is basically a fast and happy music genre, most songs will have a nightcore version to it, like, Please don't stop that music Nightcore version.

I believe it was based of off the group nightcore, because their songs are are happy fast and the voices of the people who sing it seem a bit higher and smoother, often hard to understand, and that is what happens when somebody makes a nightcore version of a song.

Genre that originated from trance and/or techno, and eventually got a life on its own.

Pure Nightcore: VERY fast beats (sometimes so extremely fast, that you cannot count them), and very high pitch (almost chipmunks). Song usually lasts about 2 to 3 minutes. Often described as "cute".
Example: Kiss me by Schule321

Bass Nightcore: fast beats, the main melody (and voice) are pitched up, but there's very low bass added; so the contrast between very high and very low is created.
Example: Kiss me by GrizzNightcore

Trance Nightcore: fast beats, high pitch, but less signing and more melody; filled with repetition; very often there is only one verse or a sentence that is repeated throughout the song. Usually it lasts at least 5 minutes, often more.
Example: Kiss me by Nightcoremania
It looks like nightcore is getting more and more popular in these days.

Eine Person, die ultra cringige deutsche Nightcore Lieder hört und sagt dass sie das Lied "fühlt" und "versteht" und sich eine Stelle im Leben raussucht, wo das Lied perfekt passen würde.
"Ich wurde in der 8. Klasse gemobbt weil ich ein Hurensohn bin und habe durch Nightcoring mein Leben wieder in den Griff bekommen"
