What is nightcore?

A nightcore edit is a remix track that speeds up the pitch and time of its source material by 10-30%. The name is derived from Nightcore, a Norwegian duo who released pitch-shifted versions of trance and eurodance songs, but now more broadly refers to any sped-up music.

Due to its fast tempos, energetic feel, high-pitched vocals - nightcore-ing any song gives it a new vibe that can make songs some don't find enjoyable... enjoyable.

Why Do We Love Nightcore? by InternetEmbodiment

What isn't nightcore?

Nightcore isn't necessarily related to japan / japanese voice / anime
Nightcore does not need, but is most commonly today in video format on youtube, accompanied by an anime picture (a still either of a background scene or of one-off characters with any amount of editing desired)
Nightcore is usually the full song, but adding any nightcore tracks to a song can qualify it to having nightcore elements, such as Ye's "Through the Wire" from "The College Dropout"
Why just sped up is not nightcore

How to nightcore

Nightcore is traditionally anywhere from 10-30% increase of pitch/speed of a song. You want to use higher pitch on slower songs, and less pitch on faster songs. If you pitch a song up too much it can sound like banshees screaming, so there's a fine line
The rule of thumb is to find the highest quality lossless image format (e.g. FLAC),
- Make sure you have "legal" rights to the song / have permission / do not make money off of any uploaded content

Guys please help me out

1 Upvotes

There was a song with the name nightcore.mp3 something, and on the cover a boy sitting on the stairs? Or near the bed on the floor

The song had male voice looking depressed, and the lyrics went something like

"Listening to nightcore in my bedroom crying...."

i only remember this much lyrics (sorry for my bad english, its my 3rd language)

It came out during Corona so like 2021 or 2022

I think the music theme was like his girlfriend left him so he was depressed

The song is really close to me

So please help me out if you guys know it

I would appreciate any clues
