it was moderately post ironic for us, when we used it. It went from being a once in a while thing just to add some additional slang. To a post hyper irony period where the joke is that the words we used dont make any sense and have no meaning, therefore you can just do that with EVERY word.

Nightcore is an edgy as fuck name for just being the chipmunk-ification of any given song.

It's just taking music and then speeding it up and pitch shifting it lmao. Seems like an appropriate name to me.

Perhaps you just perceived it as such and im thinking way too hard about this lmao

Default_Defect @midwest.social - 1.0yr
To me, it's that they had to come up with a name for it since I doubt anyone would want to admit to liking Linkin Park - In The End (Chipmunk Version) rather than Nightcore Remix by xXRavenXx
1
KillingTimeItself - 1.0yr
that might be it, it's definitely an odd sub-genre of music, but there are similar things in other samples pulled into other songs. Vaporwave being a fairly similar aesthetic just sort of backwards.
No idea what the etymology of nightcore is, but i'm sure it's interesting.

Dayton and Toledo can F right off

Cincinnati is so mid tier it hurts. Cleveland is fun in a very great lakes industrial city way.
I've never been to Toledo so I must assume it's fine at best. Dayton though, Dayton will always be my hellhole
3
Zorsith - 1.0yr
Toledo is so, so much worse. There's just nothing there, on an entirely different scale compared to dayton. At least dayton is close to other places. Toledos claim to fame is the Goodyear blimp. That's it.
And Cincinnati has plenty of cool stuff like museums and a surprising amount of good food
3
captainlezbian @lemmy.world - 1.0yr
OK yeah Cincinnati has pretty good food. It's just that its middle eastern food is fine compared to Dayton (really Beavercreek). Dayton also has excellent Vietnamese food.
And yeah Cincinnati's problem in my experience is that it has a lot of the same draws as Columbus (food and museums), but usually worse

Oof, it's been too long since I've had vietnamese... might have to head to Linhs. Dayton is definitely lacking in good Middle Eastern food. surprisingly good Mexican food though

Four spaces was helpful, but I can't scooch the ears over. Also I tried carat eyes originally but they don't format near the underscore

The other thing you can do is put it entirely within a code block.
Then it should keep your spaces and enters.
You gotta use three ` above the code block, and then three ` below

Once again, Gen X is skipped. Whatever.
they leave gen x out because they always show up in the comments. sadly the gen x tradition. representation through solidarity in underexposure. :(
go get into government or something, gen x is prime time age to kick out all the boomers. Please i beg you, do something based.
Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are gen-xers. Careful what you ask for.
and they aren't making gen x look very good now are they?
Well... I am the right age for this to make sense about me, but fuck Ohio anyway
