Remember Nintendocore?

[@minion0metal]

I was 18 in 2006 and just started dating my first girlfriend. I had never had sex before I dated her, and wasn't very good at it when we started. We always played music while we "fooled around", so her parents wouldn't hear us. One night, we started getting frisky, and Cutsman by Horse the Band came on. She rode me like a wildebeest during the breakdown, and at the end of the song she thought I was a stud. I will always remember that awesome song, and that awesome moment.

[@thisexists]

minion0metal A+, would read again.

[@nastylittlecritter]

Damn you're about to be 31...

Ha! LONG LIVE THE KING!

HORSE the Band needs to come back. I miss those guys. (I know they still tour I mean recording wise)

[@drpibisback7680]

If you're still around, the first new Horse record since Desperate Living drops tomorrow!

[@Dizerfullpower]

@@drpibisback7680 what the hell, they sound like Have Heart or something now

[@raijuu5053]

their going on tour in 2025 lol

[@MetalMarauder]

Machinae Supremacy is a great band that combines metal with chiptune, dubbed SID metal. Also, Atari Teenage Riot is a great "digital hardcore" band

[@gilbertozo]

Both are absolute legends in their own right.

[@lagomnu]

An honorable mention, the Swedish band Puss (Small kiss in Swedish) was one of the first bands that did all their music on Gameboy, this was in 2001 - no core, though. And yeah, if you're going to talk about lo-fi, in the future, don't forget the amazing band The Mummies that created the Budget Rock genre in the late 80s.

[@gilbertozo]

Puss is what it's called?

[@threecoolguysTV]

I've spent two hours bingeing on your videos, shitheel.

[@thisexists]

M.A.A.G. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Shitheel.

Well, they're not really making any new music, so they don't really count in this list

[@novajohansson3194]

I just went through my clothes while watching this, first thing I found was my Horse The Band t-shirt xD

[@juzzam3]

What music genre would you classify Crystal Castles?

[@Egysp00fs]

So, there have been many speculations on the song "smells like teen spirit" and what it's actually about. So, any clue? Also, what are the most common rockstar suicides and what are their reasons?

[@thisexists]

Good ideas, thanks!

[@Egysp00fs]

This Exists thanks man :) here's another good question then, this one is about movies. The movie (The Fountain), each one came with his own theory trying to explain the movie, yet there is no actual explanation for the movie. Can you discuss this, among other movies with the same concept?

[@thisexists]

I haven't seen the Fountain - but that's an interesting idea!

[@Egysp00fs]

thank you so much :D

[@ianriemer6245]

This Exists IIRC it wasn't supposed to be about anything. It was supposed to be complete nonsense.

[@crysiszombie]

Glad to see Powerglove got mentioned. My buddy at RIT says they have been up there a few times to play. Great vid. Gotta love that Nintendocore.

[@charlescarranzainactiveacc3499]

Anamanaguchi is so great

[@drearmouse9510]

I was just thinkin that.

[@dapper.mcdonald2526]

[@ZachClay]

HORSE the band used to have an email list that always had insane garbage in it. One time I was tricked in the thinking they were opening an At The Drive-in reunion show. I totally spread that rumor for weeks until someone told me I was an idiot.

dude this channel rules. it's not even so much about the content but rather how you present it, especially for me. I was so fascinated by the idea channel until I got dizzy from the bearded talking head that just won't shut up! great job! one of my new favorite channels!!!

[@8BitZ0mbie]

HORSE The Band is love

[@chikknlipps2058]

Since you asked, I'm a _huge_ VG cover fan. I knew all the bands you mentioned, though I was hoping to hear about something new. For those curious, I could recommend: Bit Brigade, Entertainment System, Metroid Metal, Smooth McGroove, Kirby's Dream Band, Descendants of Erdrick, MegaDriver, and Brian Davis. Thanks for making this video! Much love for VG cover!

[@Over_Toasted]

Monomate, I Shot the Duck Hunt Dog, and 100 Dead Rabbits are some great nintendocore bands.

[@nunavyourbiznas8660]

Put me down for Vomitron. It still finds it's way into my playlist. Also, see powerglove live. They toss candy, inflatable swords and the occasional game cartridge into the audience.

[@srvfan42]

I like this show. I came to this channel expecting another unfunny list show but was pleasantly surprised with how different it is. You're not afraid to test new things out and experiment with what you do, and you seem genuinely interested in the subject matter you cover. Keep it up, this is good stuff.

[@thisexists]

Thanks!

[@TheWingrider92]

all of this just reminds me of the Touhou doujin circles in Japan, they produce musics that reiterates musics from the Touhou games into various genre

[@kolbykauffman4180]

I was actually glad to hear someone bring up Nintendocore; that instantly brought HORSE the band! to mind. There were a lot of great deathcore bands that actually utilized 8-bit synths in the early-to-mid 2000's that I thought would've been mentioned here. A lot of them took what HTB did and expanded further, unlike acts that literally covered Nintendo themes. With that said, knowing that you're a heavy music fan, are you going to tread into any episodes on other forms of metal sub-genres, older and current?

[@thisexists]

Definitely will. Did unblack metal early on, would like you do something about noise, and maybe pirate metal. Any suggestions?

[@jonnyXbrainless]

This Exists pirate metal would be good fun! Alestorm and the like?

[@ahabtheplant]

Jonathan Goddard Alestorm!!! Yay! There's someone else out there! The used CD place is starting to give me funny looks when I ask for them. I know there's all kinds of other media, but these guys are cheaper than Amazon.

[@oaketree]

This Exists show about noise music/noisecore would rule

[@nunavyourbiznas8660]

oaketree Ever hear rob zombies stuff from his unsigned days? I found it unlistenable but you may enjoy it.

[@meryldoll9452]

So there's a heavy-metal sub genre based off Nintendo?? They're obviously going to make their own form of Bitcoin soon enough. Any minute now.... *Hears the sound of someone collecting a Rupee* THERE! You see--oh wait, I left the walkthrough video going, oops.

[@snowdog1104]

I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers, your video's are very well made. shitheel.

[@thisexists]

Aw maaaaaan (thanks)!

[@IJizzLightningBolts]

Yeah you didn't put out a video for a couple of weeks at one point and I thought you had stopped making videos! I was actually overjoyed when you started back up again, this is one of my favourite channels, keep em coming!

[@Lyricon24]

Who is this 'video' you speak of?

[@jonnyXbrainless]

Yeah, I remember Nintendocore. Looking back, I regret not being more into it, especially since I'm now madly into nerdcore hip hop. And it's not just metal and hardcore bands that do it, there's a German EBM/industrial group called Eisenfunk who released an album called 8-bit. That was great. They even do an industrial electro version of Korobenki from Tetris. Great work dude, keep it up!

[@thisexists]

Jonathan Goddard Awesome. Thanks!

[@blazikenowen]

wish there was links to the guys in this vid

[@thisexists]

blazikenowen Will start doing that next week. Used to do it, stopped because I'm lazy.

[@blazikenowen]

XD ok

[@beatmasterblake3461]

This Exists What was that deathcore band around 5:00 called, didn't hear you mention a name for them.

[@tiredstories]

BeatMasterBlake Our Mexican Butcher - Harmony Of Dissonance had to do some digging to find it for you xD

[@tiredstories]

This Exists my question is Our Mexican Butcher is by no means well known, how did you find that?! xD

[@hammerfist5477]

5:36 That actually brought in my mind that The True Werwolf, a finnish black metal side project by Werwolf from Satanic Warmaster, actually released an EP with two songs that were originally from Castlevania 2 and Journey to Silius.

[@barrelroll_poopoopeepee]

Fizzy Note OCremix probably needs its own episode!

[@Snowblood08]

Fizzy Note I've been listening to Artificial Fear for quite a while... and I must say, his covers are so great.

[@oaketree]

Also, there's a band called Indigo Plateau from Toronto who have released a few albums with the video game motif. Check that out too.

[@Treyworld]

Wish he would have mentioned Protomen or 8-Bit Brigade.

[@SgtZaqq]

***** do you mean 'Bit Brigade'?

[@Treyworld]

Yeah I flubbed that one up. Sowwy.

[@thomashinds3308]

Protomen are inspired by Megaman mythology but there is nothing video game about their music

[@Zephyrian1st]

you could also talk about Ephixa bringing Videogame noises to Dubstep and VaporWave sampling Ocarina of time, black banshee did this and stunned and confused a ton of fans with it, causing outbreaks in his comment section, even bad like Beyond All Recognition, deserve recognition for using video game inspiration in their dubstep metal band. Video Game Culture, as huge as it is of course have bands, i myself have crossed video game music into some music when playing with my jam band in highschool.

what was the band at 5:00

[@DetectiveDerpy]

Nice

[@alicekingston7873]

Two words: OC Remix. That website is dedicated to video game music. Most of the remixes tend to fall in the techno or electronica blend, but a fair amount of metal and surprisingly jazz renditions can be found there. I've found sooo much music that even if I wasn't familiar with the game, the new ideas people have for these songs are incredible (I was listening to a blue grass version of Xenogears earlier).

[@xedgeforeverx]

How are you going to make a nintendocore video and not include Iamerror?!

[@CptFishrPrice]

Last weeks episode its self was just weirdly done. I enjoyed this channel so much.

[@thisexists]

Cool, appreciate the critique. Thanks!

[@allencrown]

You should have mentioned OC remix at the very least. If you really did that much research I figured you would find it. They have more then just some Nintendo core. ocremix.org They're also on youtube and they deserve some love.

[@thisexists]

Daniel Gouw A lot of mentions in the comments - figured it deserves its own video, which is why it's not here.

[@allencrown]

Thanks dude

[@dragonridernd6]

I think it would be really cool if you talked about nerdcore, since you do a lot of videos about music. I don't know how familiar you are with this genre of music; it's very similar to nintendocore, but with rap instead of metal. Some suggestions of artists I have would be Dr. Awkward, Megaran, MC Frontalot, MC Chris, Adam Warrock, Tribe One, Beefy, MC Lars, and tons more. Their music involves not only video games, but comics and classical literature as well. I just think it would be amazing to introduce more people to this underrated genre.

[@Bassyxx]

HOW DO YOU DO THIS WITHOUT MENTIONING DUANE&BRANDO

[@drpibisback7680]

That initial clip of Cutsman's "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOOOOOUR!" breakdown is the entire reason why, in the year of our lord 2024, I'm starting a Nintendocore band.

[@quicksilver-ace3710]

Satellite High's "The Bus Is Late" is a prime example of a song using 8-bit sounds for instrumentals. They use sounds from fighter games!

[@PsylomeAlpha]

why do I get the feeling you listen to Welcome To Night Vale?

[@quicksilver-ace3710]

Jabun The Wanderer I have no idea what you're talking about.

[@PsylomeAlpha]

Quicksilver_Artist if you're talking about the song I'm thinking of it was featured in the pilot episode of the radio-show-themed podcast Welcome To Night Vale. also, your icon looked very similar to the art style used in the WTNV merch and promotional art... so much so that I thought it _was_ some of the promotional art.

[@ParallaxSound315]

There are still a lot of great Nintendocore artists around today. We are actually in the Second Wave of Nintendocore right now. There are some great bands out there. To list a few, there's: Falcon Pawnch! Dubious Disc Pillars Of Sarnath 100DEADRABBITS (100 Dead) All Hail the Mustache Mother Network Go Eskimo Crossovers in my fingers I Wonder Whats for Dinner

[@SammyNail]

Ive seen The One Up's live when i went to see Brentalfloss in Boston, Ma in 2010 and holy shit I was so done with it and thankful that Brent got on when he did. The one ups played for close to 90 mins and only played 3 fucking songs that normally are only about thirty seconds long. It was the most soul grating show i had been to in my whole life.

[@awesomeferret]

Can anyone find the video at 2:54? I can't.

[@stub123]

Always do completely different topics! I for one as a new fan love the contrast forming with each new episode and love the fact that with each topic I do indeed run the line in my internal monologue "This... exists!". So yeah keep it up!

[@thisexists]

stub123 Thanks!

[@RiceShouldBeFluffy]

There were straight up hardcore bands that you would find at hot topic stores doing this stuff too, some of them actually not sucky enough to be lumped with that while scene. Iwrestledabearonce was very overboard on the bleeps, sky eats airplane implemented it, and even Dr. Acula did it for an album.

[@bonitogeneration]

i sleep on a bed but you guys are sleeping on math the band

[@Prochors]

The NESkimos appeared one time on a flash game spin-off of Guitar Hero called Super Crazy Guitar Maniac Deluxe two. The game also had Mario and The Song of Heroes as Nintendocore songs as well. ^^

[@shawnhoffman7120]

One of my old bands opened for Horse the Band long, long ago when they were touring for their first album. I was the only one in town who was familiar with the band because i was the type to hang out on albino black sheep and watch flash cartoons so i jumped at the chance to play with this band no one knew about! They played an amazing show and were nice and funny guys, i hung out with the bass player from that era and he had me laughing my ass off saying his ideal death was fighting off a sea of 4th graders. Back then, they were just getting their barrings, but they went on to get extremely good and their last few albums were excellent and proved they were more than some kind of "nintendocore" gimmick. Highly recommend "A Natural Death" or "Desperate Living" albums.

[@TerminallyNerdy]

As far as Nintendocore or VG Metal, yea I still listen to a few, and have met a few. I know the NESkimos (personally weirdly enough), Random Encounter, and have hung out with Metroid Metal, Armcannon, Danimal Cannon, the Returners, the Gekkos, Under Polaris and a few others at the old Nerdapalooza festival before it went down. I also worked with Careless Juja as a video guy for one of their few lives shows. I still listen to the stuff as well. I love the blend of my two favorite musical styles: Video Game Music, and Metal. And every time I turn around more and more of these sort of bands pop up.

[@x-iso]

I think Squarpusher's Z-Machines collab made a sneak peak of a whole new possible level of this genre. Like playing real instruments at speeds that make actual blip-blops just like chiptune music tend to use this trick.

[@HeavyMetalGamer9000]

Love your videos! this was a great episode! I actually still listen to The Advantage, Powerglove, and other bands of the like quite often! Video game cover bands are awesome

[@JMega007]

I just stumbled upon your videos but I have to say I'm hooked, I love your videos. You earned another subscriber, my friend

[@mt-pu3ls]

Speaking of pioneering synth pop... Gary Numan... He did that a lot... And he's awesome.

[@viridian9154]

Anamanaguchi is my favorite band, there's a lot of Chiptune Bands, like Revengineers, I Fight Dragons, Anamanaguchi (again), Slime Girls, and...i'm trying to do chiptune music, I have some videogame covers in my chanel.

[@-VexyRS]

Vomitron shredding that LoZ theme almost made me cry... I love that song to death

[@Star-rb1ic]

this is a 3 year old video, but I really used to be into Stemage when they almost exclusively did covers of music from the Metroid Series. And really, it's weird how well Metroid music and Nintendo's music in general translates to metal.

[@TellEveryoneRecords]

Four and a half years later and still one of my favorite videos.

[@Gergaloth]

Nintendocore will always be the most beautiful collaboration of music and video games, and it was only a moment. Like dinosaurs.

[@shotarojoestar5349]

This is the only episode of This Exists where I actually knew at least 90% of the bands he was talking about. I really wish Minibosses and Advantage came back, but that's why we have OCRemix, which I'm surprised you didn't mention in the video.

[@Necrobot20XX]

Powerglove and Vomitron weren't some of the first to do straight up video game covers. The Advantage, NESkimos, and The Minibosses were mostly if not all covers. HORSE the Band and Anamanaguchi were doing their own music.

[@ninefangthesniper]

This episode brought back some memories of rocking out to Nintendocore. Thanks for that guys! Subscribing now!

[@ThomasWilson4]

The Advantage is a side project from half of Mathrock group Hella. Crystal Castles first album is very 8bit awesome too. I also saw HORSE The band in '07, was very badass

[@kaitlingregory409]

My personal favorite video game cover is Theophany's album Time's End, which is symphonic versions of songs from Majora's Mask. Really good. If you haven't yet, check it out.

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

In the year 2017, one man screams in excitement at the fact that a Nintendocore band is in Warped Tour that year. That man is me by the way.

[@r48811]

Hey me again... So yeah, bit brigade is another band that would fit in here with the cool added bonus that a member of the group plays the game live as they play the soundtrack in the background.

[@erikvil45]

4:24. I was at that summer slaughter tour. Power glove was epic.

[@Tw1stedMoogle]

I adore "The Megas". They play Megaman music with normal instruments and add lyrics to it. Check out their Airman track! It's called Annihilation of Monsteropolis

[@casperHeyzeus]

I wouldnt say that neskimos or advantage nor minibosses are nintendocore because Its just straight up covers. Horse were a punk hardcore metal band with nintendo keyboards that wrote original songs. I found out about horse the band on the neskimos forum in like 2003 maybe 2004 and to this day i still listen to them and to the bands from myspace that were similar (flee the century and totally radd being the best two examples) the cover bands were a dime a dozen, usually having a gimmick to increase the friendcount but with youtube taking off the way it did for one man band covers its become rather exhausting keeping up with great video game covers. Not like the old days where dwelling of duels was your monthly jam tape. Anyway i have spiraled off track. The advantage rock but are not what was truly considered nintendo core which is a stupid term jokingly thrown from tongue by htb

[@kappa2275]

I find that Beatpop (especially the stuff put out by Talkshow Boy) definitely has a lot of 8-bit style themes in,

Horse The Band is one of my favorites and I still listen to their record (the one pictured) at least once every two months, they rock and are "The most dangerous band in the world" Set up a gig for them, provide expenses and they will show up! For me nintendocore is not nostalgia, it's alive and kicking and I want more!!!

[@Issabellmoondew]

Also James Rolend's 255 Battles With The Cursed Shield And Any Thing By Smooth McGroove(Tho That Is Acapella But Still Good)

[@mekman4]

I love the One-Ups! And you shouldn't forget to remember the website "Overclock remix." You'll love that, especially Zelda music by Blind. Cool stuff!

[@SadoMessiahLP]

Powerglove just makes metal covers. However Dragonforce use 8-bit sounds in some of their songs like extraction zone.

[@Sly88Frye]

I remember some epic rock songs from minibosses. I knew once you brought up Castlevania, minibosses was going to be referenced.

[@Over_Toasted]

Thanks to this video, I found my new favorite band, Anamanaguchi

[@RedVioletVODs]

For the record, I would totally invite you to my birthday party, you seem like a really cool dude. On the topic of mildly interesting bit pop anamanaguchi is responsible for the soundtrack to the Scott Pilgrim game, excellent beat em up btw. I feel another noteworthy band in the bit pop genre would also probably be I fight dragons, while they don't do covers as much I still feel they're noteworthy and they came to mind when mentioning the chip tune style. For the book segment maybe something that sorta connects to the channel like "this exists in print" or something like that?

[@thisexists]

Very excited about your party. That SP game and soundtrack are great. And good idea, thanks!
