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.
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.
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.
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.
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”
And people do “mixes” where they slow down and add reverm to the songs
…isn’t this dub?
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?
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
