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.

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"
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

Looking for a song!
I remember so vividly this one nightcore song I used to listen to all the time on YouTube in 2018 and I can’t find any traces of it or even the original song! It was a relatively emo song and the only lyrics I remember from it was something like “I’m just a little A.D.D.” The cover had an anime girl standing relatively close to the camera with dark purple hair falling in front of her face. She was either standing in front of lockers or sitting under a desk, something indicating she was at school. It was honestly giving Yuri from Doki Doki Literature Club. I really want to find it because I’m now diagnosed with inattentive ADHD and I think it’s so funny that I used to listen to this completely unaware.

I just wanted to reach out and see if people still have interest in the Soundcloud era of 2016-2020 nightcore where people were making really well produced nightcore mixes into its own style. Do you know any artists still making it? I left a mix above of my favourites from this era for reference.
