Genre LensWhat is Nightcore?
An existing song, usually pop or EDM, sped up so the tempo rises and the vocals jump to a high, chipmunk-like pitch. The original arrangement is all there; the speed-up is the whole style.
Drop the file in and it will tell you which category and genre it actually is, what the secondary and tertiary picks were, and what it heard that put them in that order. Free, no account, and the file stays on your device.
Identify my track- vocals pitched unnaturally high
- whole recognisable song sped up
- frantic tempo for its style
- no new arrangement, just the speed change
Anchors rather than an exhaustive canon — if your track sits near these, this is probably the right label.
Usual tempo 150–190 BPM. Sitting outside that range does not disqualify a track; it just makes the tells matter more.
The nearest neighbours in Electronic, by tempo. If Nightcore does not quite fit, one of these usually does.
- Hardcore / Hard Techno145–180 BPM
Fast and punishing. Distorted, clipping kick drums that carry the whole track, screaming synth stabs, and tempos well past what a normal club plays. Aggression is the aesthetic.
- IDM / Experimental80–170 BPM
"Intelligent Dance Music" — electronic music made for headphones rather than dancefloors. Irregular, intricately programmed drums, odd time feels, unusual synthesis, and structures that refuse to repeat predictably.
- Jungle160–175 BPM
Drum & bass's rawer ancestor. Frenetic, heavily chopped and time-stretched breakbeats (usually the "Amen break"), reggae and dancehall basslines and vocal samples, and a rougher, more organic feel than modern DnB.
- Future Bass130–160 BPM
Bright, emotional, candy-coloured. Detuned "wobbling" chord stabs that bend in pitch, pitched-up vocal chops, trap-influenced drums with rattling hi-hats. Sounds hopeful and a bit nostalgic.
