Speed Edits and "Fake Nightcore"

[MagicScream]

This seems to be a hot issue, not only on this site, but on Youtube, and possibly other sites as well. I'd thought I'd see how this topic would do in the Philosophy section of the forums.

I know a lot of the higher-ups on the forum view the ideals of the original Nightcore group like it's the Bible, but should we allow nightcore to expand to other genres as well? Should we keep viewing sped up non-techno songs as "fake nightcore" forever? Or should we allow them to integrate into the true nightcore realm?

Try to give reasons why it should or shouldn't (be as specific and detailed as possible) instead of just simply saying "yes" or "no."

My answer is really very simple, and although its a matter of opinion, my opinion, I'm sticking to it. "Fake" Nightcore just doesn't sound good to listen to. Just because I like my techno fast and hi-pitched doesn't mean I like all my music fast and hi-pitched.

I concur; it's easy to distinguish "fake" from veracious Nightcore. Oftentimes, the "fake" Nightcore is just not pleasing to listen to; consequently, just like I don't put cheap soda in my cabinet, I don't want fake Nightcore on my playlist.

They are fundamentally different things even though they all share the same feature of speeding up. However, people are naming dubstep, pop, rock, metal, rap, R&B, house to nightcore, would you say they are same genre? I wouldn't.
You can see how worse it is getting below.

Sorry for the stupid question, but what exactly is going on in that document?

[HKO2006]

The number of non-nightcore uploaders, and the music genre.

I beg your pardon, but why is there such a need for this?

[Pavlov13]

It's not so much a need as it's a demonstration of lumping two incompatible things - they are immiscible. I'm glad there's an appreciable distinction.
