nightcore

The practice of making any given song sound more Japanese by raising its speed and pitch.

"Dude, someone made a cover of my favorite song so that it sounds like an anime opening! Was so cool hearing it!"
"Bro... they just sped it up. It's called nightcore."

Nightcore

One of the worst things mankind has ever created. It was banned in North Korea shortly after its devious creation, DPRK supreme leader Kim Jong Un called it a cancerous abomination, and a nincompoop’s creation. Nightcore are songs remixed to sound like so called ‘hot’ anime 2d characters, only musty fat discord moderators listen to it.

Nightcore is a disease, Kim Jong Un called Nightcore a cancerous abomination

nightcore

sped-up, fast rhythmic beat, and always higher than normal pitch. Almost all nightcore music are original songs nightcored (remixed into nightcore) by nightcore fans, with an anime picture to attract weeaboos.

goes better with pop music in my opinion

"nightcore music enhances the experience of listening to nostalgic pop music"
