What is Nightcore?
Nightcore is a remix style that started in the early 2000s internet scene. It involves taking a song, usually a dance or pop track, and speeding up the tempo by about 20 to 30 percent while also raising the pitch. This gives the song a very fast, high-energy, anime-style sound.
It is essentially the exact same technique as the modern "sped up" trend on TikTok, just with a much older name and a slightly different cultural aesthetic.
How to make a Nightcore remix
Creating your own nightcore track is incredibly simple. You do not need any complex audio software. Just upload your favorite song here.
Use the speed slider to increase the tempo. As you drag it up, you will hear the pitch shift higher and the vocals take on that classic high-pitched sound. Once it is fast enough to make you want to dance, hit export and download your new remix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it called Nightcore?
The name originally comes from a Norwegian DJ duo named Nightcore who pioneered the style in 2002. They pitched up trance songs, and the internet just adopted their name for the entire genre.
What is the difference between Nightcore and Sped Up?
