It is not necessarily higher pitch than the original, it is just tweaked in any way to improve on the original as much as possible, the video must be enough to tell a story, a moving image with a good song is actual Nightcore , while high pitching a bad song over a anime pdf from google is not Nightcore in any goddamn, that is the work of people trying to benefit of being related to the Nightcore Covers fame. It is also not after the Norwegian band, just un unlucky coincidence. Nightcore means remastered songs, there are also many Nightcore bands because taste differs and that's OK. They are not greedy weebs because hardly ever a good enough song doesn't have copyright, I have a completely demonized Nightcore channel, it's a nice hobby, also any true Nightcore fan shows they just can't help but fix things, like OCD for good quality stuff.
Random person: Hey this new hit song is soo good, what do you think?
Nightcore Youtuber: Ugh, it could use some speed and bass boost, but yeah, sure...
Later that day, after 6 hours of indecisive work, fixed....

Prefix Nu (new) + Nightcore.
It's the new age of Nightcore music. Characterized by a wider variety of subgenres than classic Nightcore, including but not restricted to: metal and subgenres of metal, rock (usually alternative rock and J-Rock) and pop (most often K-Pop and J-Pop), as well as all the genres covered by classic Nightcore.
Nu Nightcore is also characterized by its contrasting happy upbeat music and sad/depressing lyrics.

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.
