Created in 2002 by the Norway-born DJ group Nightcore, the genre took its name directly from the group itself.

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleepAFI
AFI is a rock band from California.
Their distinctive sound mixes punk rock with unique genres like horror pop and gothic rock, earning them immense support in the gothic scene.
“Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep” is a nightcore remix of the first half of one of their hit songs, “Miss Murder.” In the original, the track shifts into a horror-tinged punk rock style when the chorus hits, so if you like this version, try comparing it with the original as well.
ClarityZedd
Zedd is a music producer based in Germany who enjoys overwhelming support in the current electro music scene.
As one of the key figures who popularized electro house, he has produced a string of global hits.
One of his hit songs, Clarity, is a classic electro house track.
I think almost everyone has heard it at least once.
In this nightcore remix version, the sense of speed is emphasized.
This Little GirlCady Groves
Cady Groves is an American singer-songwriter who gained popularity with catchy pop and pop rock.
She was a heavy drinker and sadly passed away at the young age of 30, but her works that portray girls’ feelings realistically are still popular today.
Her classic “This Little Girl” is a track with a strikingly impactful, mentally unstable vibe, built around the idea that “any girl can become a killer.” The nightcore remix further amplifies that mood, so be sure to check it out.
Anima LiberaEMI
Emi’s classic “Anima Libera,” which has gained popularity as a nightcore track.
There isn’t much information available, so I couldn’t find out a lot, but I believe it’s an original nightcore song.
Overall, it carries the vibe of Eurodance and Eurobeat, yet it lacks the old-fashioned feel that Eurodance can often have.
Perhaps that’s because its overall structure resembles modern electronic music.
