nightcore

Definition

Originally a Norwegian electronica duo, but now primarily known as the genre of sped-up, pitch-shifted remixes that make every song sound like it's being sung by hyperactive chipmunks. It's what happens when you take a perfectly good song and hit the 1.25x speed button with extra treble. Beloved by anime fans and people who think normal music is too slow.

Example Usage

My playlist got stuck on nightcore remixes and now every song sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks covering EDM.
