Is there a nightcore song that is actually any better than the original?

The only one I've ever heard is Freak Like Me by Hollywood Ending, but that seems to be the only genre it remotely works for, and most other songs just sound like a mess.

[–] EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Nah we can definitely forget phonk

[–] Crafter72@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Nightcore taking me back in time, back then it is kind of "easy" to find nightcore edit on youtube. Although I don't listen on those edit to me it is relic from the past :p

Too real bruh, they did dirty to ma boy S3rl and DJ Satomy

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

S3RL isn't hurting from TickTock views. Boi has been deep in the raves for the last like 30 years. He's a legend in his own right.

[–] JoeKis@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know, but seeing the Nightcore uploads that are just lazy speed and pitch up edits of his early works like Pika girl, that get 30m views and his own OG upload is 3m makes me as an wannabe artist sad

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah but you have to aggregate all of his views, plus album sales, and concert ticket sales, to get a true picture. He has artists on his payroll who do his vocals. Hes doing well. I pump him everyday through his channels. There are smaller artists out there getting fucked, S3RL isn't one of them. Shit, he started with Pretty Rave Girl just about, and thats a remix of a Basshunter song.

A remix but it was on TikTok.

...So a remix basically. It's like saying something is a YouTube remix because the creator put the song on that site first.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 months ago

A remix, but namedropping TikTok because the search algorithm likes that.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

You forgot to include the nightcore remix

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 22 points 11 months ago

Worse is when it's on fucking Spotify as well.

Get that shit the fuck out of my playlists, if you've got the original then play it ffs. And not just the second half either.

I'm already bracing for Love Is a Long Road, but just the first 90 seconds of it because that's what was in the GTA6 advert and that's all these people have the attention span for.

There's this genre of music in Brasil called funk (don't confuse it with american "Kung-fu fighter" funk, is way different). And people do "mixes" where they slow down and add reverm to the songs, but now the own funk djs are releasing song that are slowed and revermed from the lets go, without releasing the original song. Idk what's the idea behind that, im supposed to look for a speed-up non reverm mix now. Also, those slow down reverm version suck big time, except when are done by actual Djs in parties, there are pretty cool cause you can feel the bass making vibrations on your chest.

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Are you talking about phonk maybe? This is a super common trope in the genre for sure.

While writing this comment I looked up Brazilian funk and realized that Brazilian funk is actually an offshoot genre of phonk, neat.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Brazillian funk cames from the 90s Miami bass, it had evolved a lot over time to what is now with a lot of different local variations. You can't barely recognize the original funk for what is popular now.

Looking for phonk it's dosen't really sound close to what I call funk imo, but there was this other video whit "Brazilian phonk" that is what I call paulista's funk, and what im listening more nowdays that I moved from Rio to São Paulo and I'm getting to know the local techno/funk scene. If you like phonk, listen to DJ K's Panico no Submundo album, its basically phonk, but still have the base Brazilian funk rhythm.

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I just got it from Wikipedia "Brazilian funk is a subgenre inspired by the underground hip hop style called phonk, which originated in the United States in the 1990s"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funk_carioca

I will check out your recs for sure, thanks!

It really is a huge issue. And when you see stuff like this you kinda understand why the RIAA takes the approach they do.

I was expecting a tictok remix of it lol. Good on you for finding the original still.

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

And the unlabeled remix you think is the original, and when you finally hear the original it feels just shit

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I've always wondered why artists don't cash in and do this themselves.

Do the ones who do just not get popular or is it some sellout thing, or has nobody genuinely tried to do it regularly with their own music?

[–] sus@programming.dev 37 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I would guess that, after working on perfecting a song for weeks or months, it feels very weird to completely change it in 2 minutes by applying 2-3 transforms/filters and releasing that as a separate version

"...It was a beautiful song but it ran too long. If you're gonna have a hit you've gotta make it fit so they cut it down to 3:05."

I've seen more and more artists doing this kind of thing themselves lately. I think in the past artists were more upset with people making more successful versions of their songs just by speeding it up and found it would not be as intended if they released it like that themselves.

Plus, saturation is probably something to consider, if you make a sped up, a remix and whatever else for every single song you release your original, thought out pieces will get a little lost in the noise.

At least one did, it was a great clusterfuck of who ripped who and back n forth versions:

Oliver Tree - Jerk (Sped Up)
Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You (Sped Up)
Southstar - Miss You (sped up)
Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You
Southstar - Miss You
Oliver Tree - Jerk ----------------- original

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I seem to remember buying cd singles back in the day that included remixes of the title track on the disc

[–] Dioz@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

"This song" but you're crying alone in the bathroom of a party

[–] DaBabyAteMaDingo@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I find a lot of music in Instagram reels that I wouldn't have otherwise. I really don't mind if there're remixed versions especially if it only helps to bring more views to the original artists. Obviously I'm not for it if it takes away views but I don't see any data that supports this.

[–] Pratai@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (9 children)

The 90’s was the last great decade for music.

[–] Krachsterben@feddit.de 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Le wrong generation

You just don't know how to look for good modern music that hasn't been filtered by time yet

Even worse when the song doesn't have lyrics

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

What about incomprehensible lyrics?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

The best is when the original artist gets ahead of this and releases those mixes officially as well.
