Do people consider Nightcore an actual genre of music?

[Y2k Crispy]

I'm sorry, but I don't see the appeal of taking a song, speeding it up a little bit, and making the pitch slightly higher. And why do all nightcore videos have some Stock image of a random anime girl?

[88888888]

it is very rare for nightcore to sound good, it's usually terrible.
and yes, it is considered a genre.

[rept]

Yeah it's pretty trash.

[Yuseiii Fudo]

Yes, it's a gerne. And the videos have some stock image because of copyright.

[Mossy Snake]

No, most people consider it to be a gag

probably because when they edit the song (it's not just speeding it up lol) the voice can change or they can change it purposefully, and a lot of the time it ends up sounding like an anime girl.

answer to question:
yes, it's a genre. a lot of people are really elitist and don't consider it one.

No.

Rumor has it that nightcore used to be an acctual genre with original songs. Then it got overrun with "nightcore remixes" anyways some of them are ok.

To draw in viewers obviously

Also anime girls stereotypically have higher voices which is probably where the relation between the two comes from

Edit: the other guy explained it better

I see people swinging this word around, but it's never used correctly:

"e·lit·ist
əˈlēdəst,āˈlēdəst/Submit
adjective
1.
relating to or supporting the view that a society or system should be led by an elite.
"older men with an elitist attitude about music"
noun
1.
a person who believes that a society or system should be led by an elite.
"critics portray him as an out-of-touch elitist"
synonyms: aristocrat, blue blood; snob"

[zboz]

Yes it's a genre.
