I'm actually quite enthusiastic about this. The Nightcore community has been very good to me and my music. This looks like a good way for a community to continue to enjoy interacting with music. The age-old issues of crediting don't seem to be an issue, and it's another medium for lesser-known producers to have their music played. I'm all for this.

Sound-wise (reminds a lot of s3rl, btw), I've heard much worse within the regular uk hardcore/happy hardcore community. Concept-wise ("Pitched up vocals and Happy Hardcore beats!") it's not too far from where I started. :)

I know people get angry about the ethics of it, but it really dosent sound bad at all.

I'll concede with you there. I honestly don't think it's that bad, my OP was in jest.
About half of my Soundcloud followers, heck, my following in general, is thanks to those Otaku / Japanese / Anime / Nightcore power-uploaders sharing my tracks, getting me thousands of views.
I just think the whole idea of "Nightcore" has a very negative stigma to it, a very unprofessional, teenagery sort of thing to it. Like the Twilight of music. I know it does a lot of things for a lot of people, but those people, I think, would be just as happy if they delved into the more mainstream hardcore and j-core.

It's quite well established, and I think it's a way of interacting with music and being involved with it that's superstitiously considered taboo in other music scenes because it often uses their music in an unofficial kind of way. The Nightcore scene is certainly far more appealing to me than the Hardcore scene is, just because of the people and the vibe. As I said to Daniel earlier, there's no money, and therefore no politics or any of the sort we have. It's a purified collective of music enthusiasts uncorrupted by money or competition. No one there is involved for any other reason than to enjoy their passion for music. The same certainly can't be said for Hardcore.
I understand there's a lot of age-old superstitions and it seems almost a requirement for people in hardcore to detest Nightcore, but in actuality, the music is often produced by Nightcore fans and supporters for the community - such is what the community has become. It's finding its feet as its own genre.

I don't proclaim to know the in's and out's of the world's economic systems, but to me, the "not thinking about money" aspect doesn't make it any more pure. In fact it makes me feel that other "political" issues are raised.

I think money has a lot to do with it. There's a lot of competition in Hardcore with people competing for bookings and using their influence to manipulate who gets booked. When Hardcore went digital, a lot of labels felt the pressure and it became very competitive with less money to share between more people.
As far as politics goes without money, it's about power play, and MC Storm is the biggest culprit for that, that too probably revolves around money

I don't really think it's that bad either. I used to listen to nightcore stuff many years ago and I even like some of the earlier Nightcore'd stuff. I just didn't think it was really around anymore and I thought the generation of kids that listened to it are now grown up and have moved on to things like Hardwell and Tiesto.

this might be actually good. i dont pay for their services because it wont accept my prepaid debit card anymore (no clue why) but recently they mixed house and dubstep in the hardcore channel, also they play often the same tunes over and over again (no idea if its because i use the free ver)
edit: 20mins into the stream, very impressed so far.

one good thing with nightcore is atleast the lack of off sync vocals added ontop of existing ones :P

No offence, Olly, but ending competition and not offering certain incentives to thrive, such as money, makes this feel like some kind of communism.
