Nightcore
A nightcore (also known as sped-up song, sped-up version, sped-up remix, or sped-up edit) is a version of a music track that increases the pitch and speeds up its source material by approximately 35%. This gives an effect identical to playing a 33⅓-RPM vinyl record at 45 RPM.
The name is derived from the Norwegian musical duo "Nightcore" (Norwegian pronunciation: [ˈnɑɪ̯tkɔːɾ]), who released pitch-shifted versions of trance and Eurodance songs. Nightcore is also almost always associated and accompanied with anime and otaku culture, with many YouTube thumbnails, and similar formats, of nightcore remixes containing anime characters and art.
Nightcore saw a general resurgence in popularity in the early 2020s due to TikTok, causing major recording labels to officially release "sped-up" versions of their songs.
