A music "genre" made by a bunch of weebs who think that speeding up a song is considered a genre of music.

It, most of the time is just taking a song and, speeding it up, slowing it down, pitching it up, or pitching it down, with an anime character shown in the video.
Guy 1: "This is an amazing Nightcore song"

Basically, sped-up music and the bpm (beats per minute) rises. It's a type of techno that originated in the early 2000's.
Guy 1: Hey dude, did you hear that nightcore song on the radio?
Guy 2: Yeah, they sounded like chipmunks.

Nightcore is basically a popular song that is sped up and increased in pitch, they will draw people in with cute anime girls in thumbnails. People will tend to refer to those enjoy this music as "weeaboos"

It originally came from a genre known as "Trance" which is similar to Nightcore, but it is a genre that has longer songs and focus more on the melody.
Nightcore tries not to familiarize itself with Trance.

Nightcore gets a lot of hate at times due to it associating itself with "weeaboos" and being called "Effortless"
Nightcoreis the best music genre.
Nightcore is for weeaboos
Nightcore is effortless
Nightcore is REAL music

I am not good at putting this in a sentence I apologize.

A made up genre of music in where an original artists music is sped up an pitched up. Often then released on YouTube or similar sharing site with an anime based video as an original piece giving no credit or royalties back to the original artist. Basically an easy way for some non-talented schmuck to ride the back of a real artists work to gain some kind of notoriety for themselves.
"Hey have you heard that new Nightcore song/". "It's not new, some bored a-hole just sped up someone else's song!!!".
