Brainrot zoomer language was pioneered by members of our generation, yet is cringe to us. Same with "XD :3 ><" and the generation before us. Stuff becomes cool because older people start it, only for younger people to embody it. "UwU" is a gift that we ought to respect (≧ω≦)
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.
It's my first time watching this particular video -- I remember when the Internet was like this, but I didn't remember what the digg website looked like or the YouTube or whatever, and the little ad games where you blow up a terrorist and all the hate in the flame war comments lol, I think I forgot a lot of it for a reason.
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
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.
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
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
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

At the time, I was too busy glaring at the concept of irony being used incorrectly to know any of the slang you are referring to.
"We know we didn't literally die laughing. We're saying it ironically!"

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

KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y
its not that edgy. Or is there nightcore lore im not familiar with?
It's just taking music and then speeding it up and pitch shifting it lmao. Seems like an appropriate name to me.
Default_Defect@midwest.social · 5 pts · 1y
The name sounds edgy. The reality of it isn't. That's what I was saying.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 1y
no i picked up on that, i guess i just don't see how it's supposed to sound edgy.
