The day was created by New York musician Patrick Grant, who believes that broadening people’s musical horizons can also change the way that society views other aspects of life.
The satirical genre originated from England and incorporates elements of British ‘chap culture’, stereotypical English obsessions such as watching cricket and drinking tea, with classic rap and hip-hop tropes.
The clear visual style incorporates old images and web design from the early days of the internet and mixes it with more futuristic elements such as cyberpunk and glitch art.
If Mario and Luigi grew their hair out, started wearing black leather jackets and playing the electric guitar, you might end up with something like Nintendocore.
Nintendocore combines chiptune and retro video game music, with heavy metal and hardcore punk, to create a unique, aggressive, and nostalgic sound.
The music features extremely fast tempos (at upwards of 190 beats per minute), distorted 4×4 kick drum patterns, shouted vocals and blaring detuned synth riffs.

It annoys the shit out me that anyone would have the sheer fucking gall to call it liberalizing something liberals outlawed and had a fifty year moral panic over.
On what would have been Pierre Seel’s 100th birthday, Euronews Culture commemorates the incredible life of the French Holocaust survivor who defied social conventions to reveal an uncomfortable truth: the experience of Nazi Germany’s gay victims.
Aware of his burgeoning homosexuality from a young age, he felt at odds with the world that surrounded him, and ended up confiding in a friend - Jo, whom he’d eventually call his boyfriend.
To add insult to injury, pervasive homophobic attitudes among prisoners meant that gay inmates could not expect any solidarity, and were burdened by a profound sense of shame.
By 1994 - the same year that Paragraph 175 was finally abolished in a newly reunified Germany - Seel came out with his memoir, which he worked on alongside French journalist Jean Le Bitoux.
He was invited to interviews and events, and at his story even received silver screen treatment at the hands of Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, in their acclaimed 2000 documentary, Paragraph 175.
Speaking to Euronews Culture, David Cupina from Les Oublié-e-s, a French association commemorating the Holocaust’s queer victims, talked about Seel’s legacy and impact on the LGBTQ rights movement.

However, insufficient funding is the biggest obstacle to sustaining and expanding the humanitarian response, putting parts of the population in need of support at risk.
The non-governmental organisation helps people affected by humanitarian crises, including the climate crisis, to survive, recover and rebuild their lives.
The IRC report on Afghanistan indicates that the country has one of the highest rates of malnutrition in the world, affecting nearly 3.2 million children and 840,000 pregnant and lactating mothers.
Salma Ben Aissa, International Rescue Committee (IRC), told Euronews:"In fact, the need for humanitarian assistance in terms of the number of poor people in need has always existed.
IRC works in many villages in 12 provinces in Afghanistan and also supports Afghan refugees in neighbouring countries, including those who have resettled in the United States.
According to Neil Turner, director of the Norwegian Refugee Council in Afghanistan, funding remains one of the key barriers to administrating aid:
Inhabited by around 400 residents, Staro Zhelezare has undergone an enchanting transformation - where modest homes, once cloaked in silence, now stand adorned with an eclectic array of famous faces.
In the heartland of Bulgaria lies the unassuming village of Staro Zhelezare, which has quietly evolved into an unexpected epicentre of street art, merging the worlds of reality and imagination.
This charming town has undergone a transformative journey, as its once-muted walls now stand adorned with vibrant murals depicting both esteemed global leaders and beloved fictional characters.
Each summer, artists arrive in the sleepy neighbourhood to create new paintings inspired by global news and culture, from both the past and present.
The project is organised by the Polish-Bulgarian artistic family Katarzyna and Ventsislav Piryankov, with the help of students of theirs from Poznan in Poland.
Artist and curator, Katarzyna Piryankov says her family wanted to show the idea of a globalised world, where a granny from a Bulgarian village can sit next to a superpower leader.
Over 3,000 tourists and locals were removed from four campsites and two housing estates near Saint-André and Argelès-sur-Mer, just south of the city of Perpignan, as firefighters attempted to contain the blaze.
Thirty houses, a campsite and a warehouse were damaged, roads were blocked and train services between Perpignan and the Spanish border were temporarily suspended.
Senior regional official Rodrigue Furcy told a local French radio station that, "The fire has been contained,” but the area remained “under close surveillance and firefighters were still battling the blaze”.
Yesterday the regions of Savoie and Haute-Savoie on the French-Swiss border were added to the orange alert (the level below the maximum warning), while the Ain and Isère departments have been on heatwave watch since Sunday.
Higher temperatures are predicted for the Pyrénées-Orientales region as the week goes on, with spikes of up to 39 degrees Celsius looking likely due to a hot southerly wind moving in over the mountains.

Aficionados of the hugely popular South Korean musical genre are asking luxury fashion brands to commit to bigger and better climate action - but will their calls fall on deaf ears?
Tapping into the highly lucrative up-and-coming Gen-Z markets, Chanel, Celine, Saint Laurent and Dior have given the prestigious role of brand ambassador to BLɅϽKPIИK members Jennie, Lisa, Rose and Jisoo respectively.
“BLɅϽKPIИK is an A+ but luxury fashion is a total fail on climate,” says Kpop4Planet campaigner Dayeon Lee, adding “These brands are K-washing fans into buying products which are threatening our future.
They’re accusing leading brands of dressing up their lack of sustainability by partnering with K-pop’s climate-friendly icons, including BLɅϽKPIИK, who have previously acted as ambassadors for the global climate conference COP26.
As part of the Unboxed campaign, the environmental NGO Action Speaks Louder has ranked the four brands’ publicly available information on their climate targets and current emissions in a quasi-report card.
Many pieces from luxury brands do well on the resale market and some fashion houses have increasingly begun to encourage recycling, upcycling and reselling as opposed to throwing garments away.
