People who say that don't understand originality x3 One time someone told me Nightcore sounds like a chipmunk on drugs. But hey, chipmunks can't even talk.

Nightcore is a heaven for true ravers like us, pplz :D One day Nightcore songs will come to life and kill everyone that tells you it suckz or its gay or some other insult.

You know it, Yoru! :D

In america most people who think that they're cool or thr to act like it listen to rap cuz it "tough" and "hardcore" and whatver. I've played nightcore for some ppl I know and they call it "Gay Japanese Hentai Shit" and I wanna punch them in the face. In america its considered really nerdy to listen to any techno that isn't the crap that they play in clubs over here. All the "ounce ounce" stuff. I don't like but i understand if you guys do cuz it is dance techno. I hate how most ppl don't like it, but who cares, I like being happy, I like my nightcore.

I know how you guys feel. One good friend of mine is a loyal Metal-Head, and calls any form of Electronic music gay, boring and retarded. Sometimes, I just wanna punch him in the face, because he listens to Skrillex but doesn't think that it's electronic music >_<. Almost everyone I know feels that way about Nightcore and other Techno music, but a very close friend of mine became addicted to Nightcore because of me. So, not all people hate on NIghtcore (But a vast majority of people I know do)

Reasons I heard up to now :

- Cannot understand lyrics or sings too fast (so can't understand it)

- Too high pitch voice, some really don't like it

- Some nightcore are from songs people really like in the first place and they think that making a new song out of it is indecent (in a few years they're gonna start yelling at youngsters to get off their lawn lol)

Got one friend who really likes it tho, so it's not everybody but this is all fine, everybody has a genre they really like, just don't put yourself in the same boat by hating other genre and saying it's crap. You could be amazed in the future that you can like something new, hell, I'm now a fan of Die Antwoord, never thought before that this would happen :-)

I was talking to my friend who listens to nightcore and he tried to make me listen to slipknot nightcore (this being the first time) I really didn't like it, not because i'm not a maggot because I really didn't like any of it. So then he gave me all this shit on why I should like and how I didn't give it a chance. Later that day I felt bad so I looked more in to it and still didn't like it, i put in every single type of music I like from from Classic rock to death metal I still couldn't like it. So I gave it more then a chance an still I get e-mails on how I suck so very much and with this discussion up I feel this is a chance for me to explain to you why I don't hate nightcore but how I dislike it.

1 The fan base; As said I always get e-mails from the fan-base bitching to me about already said stuff in the paragraph. Stop trying to force this music in me I don't like it! I'm not trying to shit on the fan-base and i'm not saying if you are apart of the fan-base you do this, but if you try and make everyone listen to it back the fuck up! It really dampens the community to yourself's and it discourages me from listening in the first place.

2 Thumb nails; I can not listen to music if some image of a half naked anime girl is just there it kinda gross and it's the most scumbag thing you can do to get people to view your video. I don't know this is on purpose if it is that is kinda gross if you are doing it in the intention of turning your viewers on but it just has to stop. I feel kinda bad for any young kid trying to listen to that in class and the teacher walks up see's the thumbnail and puts the kid in detention for having pornography (not saying it is pornography but to someone who has never heard of nightcore would probably think it is) and funny enough it did happen to my sister xD but that is beyond the point.

Essentially I feel that nightcore is it's own genre of music and it should be treated that way unlike a band. If you like pop and nightcore listen to them both, if like metal and nightcore listen to them but don't go up to a metal head who doesn't like pop and make him/her listen to it {Vise versa} and same with nightcore don't make someone who doesn't like nightcore and make them listen {vise versa} and at the very least have a little more variety of anime woman and no anime woman. That's it, hoped it helped you understand why I "hate it", others think it's gay and ruins the music, those people are typically ass-holes but if a song that really just means something to you and you see a anime girl posted all over it, I can see why some would say it ruins the music. but they have to understand that it's a whole community and a whole new genre that they insult which is just rude...

You can reply if you want, chances are you'll never find me on this webpage again but it's not impossible to be lucky right? bye c:

LOL, this discussion again. What you were listening is called "Fake Nightcore", which means nightcore that doesn't fall into the techno category. We have to make it to the techno category, BTW zurd IP ban this user and close this thread

I was talking to my friend who listens to nightcore and he tried to make me listen to slipknot nightcore
He tried to make you listen to sped-up Slipknot, not Nightcore. Only a certain set of electronic genres can be considered Nightcore when sped up, specifically those done by (or similar to those done by) the original Nightcore group. A playlist of their tracks can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=P ... 553EB99A95
i put in every single type of music I like from from Classic rock to death metal I still couldn't like it.
I also explored speed-ups of many such genres at first, but it quickly became apparent that electric guitars in general sound really bad when sped-up (at least to me). I'm also not a big fan of most pitched up male vocals, it just feels wrong somehow (TO ME!!).
1 The fan base
I've not experienced any push-y-ness from the fanbase myself. It's quite understandable that sped-up music is and will always be a niche thing, so expecting everyone to like it is quite silly imho.
Thumb nails
Anime pictures have somehow become the norm for Nightcore, probably due to the connection between high-pitched lyrics and certain anime girl voices, but having those picture be half-naked has never really been obligatory. However, sexy pics do pull views, this has been proven time and time again, which is why the Nightcore videos at the top of the search results will often have half-naked girls in them.

If you like a song but don't like the image, try kindly asking another Nightcore channel to upload the song with a more child-friendly image :) There are many many channels out there that try their best to be pretty tasteful and child-friendly in their image choices, and even a few that don't use anime images at all (though with great emphasis on *few* in this case ^^)
Essentially I feel that nightcore is it's own genre of music and it should be treated that way unlike a band.
Nightcore (and speed-ups in general) to me is an extension of existing genres of music, rather than a genre of its own. It's also a simple way to transition one genre into another genre, simply by increasing the tempo. For example, what do you get if you speed up Metal? Well, Speed Metal of course! But does Metal and Speed Metal have the same audience? No, they don't. (this example might be completely off, sorry, my Metal knowledge is a bit lacking :P)
BTW zurd IP ban this user and close this thread
Quiet LLA... He made a perfectly polite and intelligent post, and it's a discussion definitely worth having (again).

not need to ban, he has his own point of view, he's not insulting anyone

if you don't like speed edit or Nightcore or anime pictures, then don't listen to it or watch it, everyone's different, we're not forcing anything on anyone, you haven't said what kind of music you like but I can tell you I really music that is fast with happy lyrics, I get the shiver out of it and it just happens that Nightcore fits in this category :)

This indeed gives some great insight in what the fake nightcore community does with all the outside viewers.

I never get shit from the community, which probably means you do something to piss them off repeatedly. You're at fault, I believe.

Also, there's this awesome thing called scrolling down when you have a very explicit image with your music. We all should remember that when we give such arguments!

imo the statement "haters gonna hate" is quite weak since it implies that there is no reason for "hate".
also the fake/not fake thing isnt that important, what matters for me is the fact that some people get famous for basically nothing while actual artists stay unknown.
i also hate the ignorance of most fans (especially around the fake scene since those tend to be way more casual), you just cant tell them anything without getting stupid answers with no content at all. for example i often see people who just wont believe that copyright still belongs to artists/label or who tell me about licenses you could buy for that (yea sure, license to give commercial music away for free to an infinite amount of people; even the fact that they imply that the uploader bought any licenses just for his effortless uploads triggers me)

well when nightcore started people didn't really hate it much cause when you typed nighcore in the search all you got was good music.
but then people started catching on the fact that its just speed up music :P and everyone can do it.
i think people hate it now cause its gotten popular and that everyone can do it
