First off (A little about me) , I wanted too cover that "nightcore" really does have several different variations of it. I think we can mostly agree it has to do with 1 or more of the singers sounding "anime" like for a rough base. Therefore there are quite a few different versions of nightcore.
The only "cheating" version I have a serious pet peeve about is when a person simply speeds up a song and calls it nightcore DX!!! HATE that... It's not nightcore....
Anywho, the best personally to me, is when they make it sound animeish, and remix it in an epic way. <3
I however, am not good with remixing songs at all, tried it.. suck at it... I'm a video editor by nature, I make videos randomly for fun, though my earlier ones are much better, and most of those unfortunately were taken off of youtube... :(
That being said, I have started to do some Nightcoreing myself.
My Nightcore's are based on keeping the same beat of the song, not changing it at all, but making it sound more animeish but still fit. I do this several different ways. Sometimes I make both the guy and girl sound animeish, sometimes just the girl, or I'll go full on Anime. Depending on what fits the feel of the song.
First one I did, may be a little lacking and not enough Animeish to it.

Note: I don't want too argue what is and isn't Nightcore, and whether these songs are or are not Nightcore. As it's pretty silly and ridiculous to do so imo.
I'll give this point here as an explanation, and leave it at that. If you have constructive criticism, please by all means let me know, I'm open too suggestions.
Since a few people have been "discussing" with me if my songs are Nightcore or not in the first 2 pages, I will leave it at this.
I have read it, and I believe my songs fall under the category of Nightcore. Plain and simple. It's a basic version of Nightcore, but Nightcore none the less, or if you want to argue, a normal song with a splash of nightcore, however you want too categorize it. I won't argue anything past this. Nightcore is Nightcore, you can tear it apart all you want, but if you're going too rip it apart at that level I could argue why half of the songs in all of the genre's don't fit for various miniscule reasons, but that would be ridiculous to do.hko2006 wrote:

Before reading this reply please read the NIGHTCORE POSTING REGULATIONS (READ BEFORE POSTING!) thingy,
I just finished reading it, I think you should too.

Now I assume you have read it.
Chop is consider to be one of the NU members consider nightcore is/should be/will be sped up any songs while majority of the members here stick with "nightcore is techno/dance", including myself.
In one of the your video, I commented "very interesting nightcore you are making" because there was YouTube and that is kinda pointless/annoying/frustrating to spam to every sped up pop/rock/metal/hip hop/rap/instrumental/dubstep/house/folk/r&b/d&b/country music uploaders who tag their uploads to be nightcore, but now you are here. Sorry we have been asking you to read a lot of stuff but this is the only way, or you can listen too?
here are some great channels, listen more to their uploads if you haven't yet

There are so many threads arguing the same thing so I just post the link here
even the same argument is not the same but you may got the point.

My songs are Nightcore, because it fits what the original Nightcores did first before expanding, if that's not enough for you, they simply don't fit anywhere else... and fit best under the genre of "Nightcore".
Then again, you could argue Nightcore itself is not a genre.... because all you're doing is taking already existing songs and just re editing them... to be fully blunt..
I think people need to step back and not be so hard about what is and isn't nightcore. The only reason my pet peeve about "speeding up a song" isn't Nightcore and I hate that, is because it takes literally no effort to do what so ever, and isn't editing the song in anyway shape or form so I don't count it myself.
