"Perhaps extending from their relative ubiquity on TikTok's predecessor Musical.ly, nightcore audios have a strong presence on the app; so do their opposites, "daycore" or "anti-nightcore" remixes, in which tracks are slowed down for a heady, sluggish effect."

Etymology

From day + -core, coined by analogy with nightcore (“a style of music based on taking an original track and speeding it up and increasing its pitch”).
