Nightcore
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!!!".

On November 6, 2006 a youtube user nicknamed Cuteangel43802 uploaded the AMV called:
Kingdom Hearts: Dont You: Nightcore
And this became the beginning of the nightcore style. The word “nightcore“ was included in the title, as well as under the video as a “music artist“, rather than “singer“ or “group“, and so it was interpreted to be nickname of the person remixing (i.e. high pitching) the song.
Eventually anyone high-pitching the songs would call themselves nightcore (but to distinguish themselves they would add a word, letter or a number before or after the word), and as the amount of people doing it increased, the meaning transferred to the song genre, rather than the person.
Nightcore can include any genre, because the word itself means “high-pitch“, so it is much broader term than “happy hardcore“ and although some “happy hardcore“ songs can be also called “nightcore“, not all “nightcore“ songs can be called “happy hardcore“.
Wikipedia defines “nightcore“ as a name of a band, but whether there is a connection between the youtube nightcore community and the band is unknown. Possibly the name was directly or indirectly taken from the name of the band, but there is no definite proof for this. It may have been as well a coincidence.

Probably one of the saddest excuses of a genre, nightcore is a type of music that is a piece of already existing music sped up or pitch shifted, making it questionable if its actually a genre or not, though a genre would assume that is purely made up of original songs. In its history, people have said that it is low effort and requires no talent other than the ability to pirate music and use windows movie maker.
