nightcore

A sped and pitched-up song with an anime picture to attract the weeaboos. Mostly used my moneyholics to claim all the revenue for a song whereas the original creator gets none. Some go as far as to discredit the original creator.

Nightcore was originally created by Thomas S. Nilsen and Steffen Ojala Søderholm and the moneyholics attempted to emulate their style before being corrupted into the wicked souls they are now.
"Hey, have you heard that new Nightcore song?"
"Shut up! Nightcore is for weeaboos."
"No, it's not! Energized was amazing!"
"Yeah, the originals were dope, but the one right now are complete shit. They're just rip-off's of chipmunking."

nightcore

1) A trance music duo consisting of Thomas S. Nilsen and Steffen Ojala Søderholm, started in 2001

2) A glorified term for one of the laziest forms of remixing: speeding up a song and pitching it up, which takes 30 seconds in Audacity. It comes from people trying to emulate Nightcore's style.
Nightcore is awesome, if you're talking about the music duo. If you're talking about the lazy remixes, then nightcore is trash.

nightcore

The retarded version of music that should be considered copyright. It's pretty much just music with squeaky voices for weeaboos.

nightcore

A sad excuse for a genre of music.

Nightcore is a genre of music mostly made up of sped up songs, such as good music from the band "groove coverage" wich the "Nightcore" versions have more views than the originals.

A "Nightcore artist" uses programs like windows movie maker, or camtasia studio to add a picture of what is usually a girl from a japanese anime, and they speed the music up a bit and call it original and a "remix."

A genre that originated from as a subgenre of trance and/or techno, and is still considered so by many people.

Eventually got a life on its own.

Original Nightcore fans prefer to not be associated with trance and don't like the idea of naming a "nightcore" as anything else.

Almost all nightcore music are original songs nightcored (remixed into nightcore) by "Modern Nightcore Fans"

Sub Categories are:

Nightcore (Original): Trance and or techno speed up.

It looks like nightcore genre is getting more and more popular in these days, despite not being true to the original style

Nightcore

Nightcore is a type of music, usually, a parody of an original song, but converted into a faster, (sometimes low quality) version of itself.

It can be used as a torture device to some.
person 1: "Do you like nightcore?"

person 2: "That high-pitched, ear-destroying music?"

person 2: "I don't like it"
