Which Remixes Really Annoy You?

[LeviR.star]

Now, I may love Kirby remixes, but people need to stop with the Gourmet Race remixes. Seriously, its reputation is being ruined and almost no one new to the series has heard anything besides the Smash Bros. 64 version.

Stop calling it, "Kirby's Dream Land Theme Song", that's not even close to being accurate.

Also, this theme has become a victim of internet memes.

As good as many of them are, undertale remixes are becoming old and starting to annoy me.

[Maelstrom]

Remixes that are content without really adding an original spin on the song, or any new content.

What I mean is remixes that take great songs and ruin them, like the Wily Wars version of Mega Man's boss theme.

[Maelstrom]

But the ones I referred to actually drive me insane. Why remix something if you're not going to add anything original?

Hmm... good point. One remix I really like is this: (1:24)

Nearly half of it is new and original, yet so fitting.

When you have a remix, you gotta change something, and those changes will always be scrutinized. "Ruining" is completely subjective.
That being said, I really hate remixes that transpose the music to a different key from the original.

Ooh, yes. Mega Man: Powered Up...

I don't listen to fan content very often, and what I hear ranges from really good, to kinda lame.

The Wily Wars version of Mega Man's boss theme.

Wait, you mean Mega Man 1's boss theme? That was kinda bad in its own right though.

Ooh, yes. Mega Man: Powered Up...

Curse the remix of Bomb Man's theme.

I'm going to just go ahead and state the obvious:
"midi remixes" are just ew

[LeviR.star]

"midi remixes"

What's a midi remix?

I second this--it's transparently obvious when someone has taken the original sound file, changed its key, and re-published it. The instrumentation, timbre, and possibly tempo not changing give it away.

Sadly, this seems to be the bread and butter of "Nightcore" versions of songs. Those are everywhere on YouTube. I've gotta be careful out there.

Technically more a cover than a remix, but this song just doesn't make any sense. Why did Dragonforce chose This Song to cover!? Out of all the songs... ...always confused and annoyed me.

I do it because the original songs are in GBA/DS or some other old-school sound quality, so it's neat to hear what something would sound like if higher quality samples were available to make the songs.

Anyways, nightcore/dubstep and similar kinds of remixes are cancer.

I'm not an expert, but does this count? I hate this remix.
