Its a genere of… music. If you want to call it that. They basically just speed up and pitch up the song to make it sound like its being sung by a mouse version of themselves and then boom nightcore remix.
Don’t forget that adding anime tiddies to the cover art and/or thumbnail is also mandatory these days.
I don’t trust the official history of this sort of thing. I maintain that this whole thing got popularized by the Caramelldansen debacle. In the good old days, if a DJ wanted to speed up a track to make it up-tempo for dance floor use it was also mandatory to add some drum and bass elements, and if you had access to the split tracks probably just reinvent the bassline, hook, and melody altogether. You know, things that took actual effort.
Nowadays anybody can open an .mp3 in Audacity and speed it up by 30% and call it a “remix.”
Thats sad if they actually consider what they are doing art. Ive been out of the loop for a while but when I saw people making this stuff 15 years ago, it seemed like a thing a niche community was doing. I dont think anyone took it seriously. I still find songs that sound better sped up like this one is very funny try this one at 1.5 or 1.75 speed. Game changer kinda hits like rapgod from eminem

If you put it like that, than I can see how birds are nightcore dinosaurs.
