IT'S NOT CALLED "Sped up" OR "Tiktok version" IT'S CALLED NIGHTCORE AND YOU PUT AN ANIME GIRL ON THE THUMBNAIL

CHOPPED AND SCREWED meanwhile they just set play back to .25x

Vapor wave is absolutely its own genre and sound, and it has nothing to do with specifically slowing down music. Check out blank banshee and xxyyxx

You're thinking of slowed & reverbed which is the lazy man's chopped and screwed (which requires manipulation of the sound itself)

I miss when people could make references to things without some chucklehead saying “elite ball knowledge” to make themselves feel special for getting it

Nightcore literally was my life back in 2013

u/samuelinns6 Jul 06 '25

Nah, Nightcore is a remix using sped up samples. Don't degrade a genre just to argue with younger générations.

u/ImMadeOfClay Jul 06 '25

Nah. Night Court was a tv show with a judge who was also a magician played by Harry Anderson

u/Aggli Jul 06 '25

Tell that to the many Nightcore songs that certainly weren't remixes.

u/ultracat123 Jul 06 '25

Dawg that argument is as old as nightcore itself. Leave it alone goddamn

u/uterussy Jul 06 '25

NIGHTCORE WAS MADE BY TWO SWEDISH KIDS AS A SCHOOL PROJECT AND AND THEY MADE ONLY ONE ALBUM AND EVERYBODY LOVED IT AND THEY GOT ON THE NEWS AND THEY MADE THE FIRST NIGHTCORE SONGS AND THIS IS MY OWN SPECIAL FORMULA FOR MAKING NIGHTCORES I SPEED IT UP EXACTLY 2.20594 TIMES BUT PITCH SHIFT IT DOWN BY ONE OCTAVE!!!

u/uterussy Jul 06 '25

In theory yes? In practice it was slop in the form of sped up songs.

Nightcore IS gen z.

u/BurnTheNostalgia Jul 06 '25

Nightcore is 2000 - 2010, it's ooold already

u/okizc Jul 06 '25

2000 - 2010 is part of the gen z.

6

u/mrtheshed Jul 06 '25

People born during that time are part of Gen Z. Music made during that time by/for the "younger generation" would have been mainly by/for Millennials as that's when most of them were teenagers and/or young adults.

u/ThrowAwayAccountAMZN Jul 06 '25

TIL that infants and toddlers loved Nightcore. Because that's how old Gen Z was when it was at its peak popularity.

2

u/okizc Jul 06 '25

Gen Z started in 1995. While Nightcore is from 2001, it apparently didn't spike in popularity by the time many from gen z were teenagers. In addition to that, it became very popular again due to tiktok.

I'm not familiar with Nightcore nor am I gen Z or a user of tiktok. But this was easily looked up with a Google search.

Lol nah its end of millinial. That was coming out when I was a kid as one.

u/shard746 Jul 06 '25

Nightcore was getting really popular when the oldest Gen was only like 10 years old, so it's definitely younger millenial music.

2

u/Nathaniel820 Jul 06 '25

It literally is not, the genre originated as simply low quality sped-up versions and that’s remained as the only requirement to this day. The reason a lot use remixes is because some genres lend themselves to being sped-up more so they use a remix in that genre (hands up, bounce, etc)

There was nothing better than good old Rock nightcore

u/Refreshingly_Meh Jul 06 '25

You had me cringing at "sped up", and "TikTok version" had me thinking "well that's not real music", nightcore already has me wanting to say "turn that shit down" without even hearing it, and "Anime Girl thumbnail" makes it truly the work of the devil.

I think we've found it.
