Comment on Birds are just Nightcore remixes of Dinosaurs
LoreSoong@startrek.website 3 days agoThats 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

Second verse slapped harder than expected.
And on the topic of nightcore being art or not; who cares? Art doesn’t have to be this totally involved thing for every person’s every project. Making minor alterations to other people’s work is its own style and form of creative exploration and, if encouraged and engaged with sufficiently, can easily grow into something with more luster and prestige. And besides that, some songs do just be sounding better when played faster and higher than intended. Artists or not, good on em for playing around and finding the ones work.

True. But at the same time If little to no effort it being put in it does ride the line of being fair use. So if they are monitizing it which i dont think they were doing 15 years ago If find that kind of scummy. but other than that i look at it as the same thing as those AMVs back in the day. Just something someone made for the love of the source material.

I am of the opinion that once a piece of art is shared with the world, it stops belonging solely to the creator and instead becomes the property of the community. I also know how hard it can be to just barely scrape by, so I don’t personally have a problem with people making low effort money in this way. It is a bit scummy to piggyback on people doing actual skilled work, but at the same time, so is much of the world in far more direct and brutal ways.
Other than that; agreed. It feels like one of a few next logical steps for that sort of og YouTube fandom energy. If it inspires joy and isn’t hurting people, I say let em at it

I cannot find it, but my gf showed me this tiktok where a person made an extremely compentent remix within the fortnite music mode. It was a completely original work made of songs within fortnite it was very impressive. All that is to say Im not a fan of low effort work when just a small amount more could turn it into something new and interesting. Monitizing it is just an extra fu imo.
I do get what youre saying about struggling for money, but even so ive seen street artists with some insane talent and or ingenuity. Im of the belief that everyone can practice at something and make a living off of it even if its something wed consider mundane like… sweeping a floor. Im going to look up a professional sweeper right now on youtube and find someone with insane skill. And im sure the same is true with any task or art.
