<p>No, nightcore is not Anime.</p>

<p>Nightcore is a music genre where the pitch and speed of a song is changed.
It is also sometimes known as nighstep or sped up dubstep.</p>

<p>The nightcore videos do often come paired with anime-related images instead of music videos, but is usually not related to the depicted anime whatshowever.</p>
