Music which originally inspired the listener to fight; now as fighting becomes less commonplace for the settling of disputes, fightcore may provide motivation for 'hardcore dancing' or other physical activities. Typically consists of fast opening riffs, abundant amounts of double bass, and heavy but simple breakdowns.
Fightcore is exemplified in bands such as and similar to Chimaira, Emmure, Between The Buried And Me, Bury Your Dead, etc.
Listeners of fightcore are NOT mosh warriors, hXc faux-toughguys, brootal kids, or any similar pussyfaced show-goer. They DON't major in writing, art, or queer-studies.
Fightcore isn't a way of life or a trend, but simply a term coined to describe the way a band makes you feel and want to act.

hXc toughguy: D00d I'll beat your ass if you look at my wall-flower tramp of a girlfriend again
(The crowd starts to chant; "BURY YOUR FUCKING DEAD")
fightcore kid: Says nothing and with one single blow the hXc toughguy is knocked the FUCK out.

Get the nightcore mug.Genre that originated from trance and/or techno, and eventually got a life on its own.
Pure Nightcore: VERY fast beats (sometimes so extremely fast, that you cannot count them), and very high pitch (almost chipmunks). Song usually lasts about 2 to 3 minutes. Often described as "cute".
Example: Kiss me by Schule321
Bass Nightcore: fast beats, the main melody (and voice) are pitched up, but there's very low bass added; so the contrast between very high and very low is created.
Example: Kiss me by GrizzNightcore
Trance Nightcore: fast beats, high pitch, but less signing and more melody; filled with repetition; very often there is only one verse or a sentence that is repeated throughout the song. Usually it lasts at least 5 minutes, often more.

The song is then posted on YouTube, usually giving no credit to its initial creator, accompanied by a visual of an anime girl (or multiple anime girls).

"I used to listen to music while I was on speed, but now I quit the speed and just listen to nightcore instead."

Get the nightcore mug.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.
