Peppermint comes from Jack Stauber, the American musician and animator known for surreal micropop songs and strange animated shorts shared online. Nightcore edits, which speed up and raise the pitch of existing tracks, have circulated in anime and internet fan communities since the early 2000s. This version found a second life on TikTok around 2020, where short surreal edits helped older Stauber songs reach new listeners. Its brief length and distinctive pitched sound make it easy to loop and recognise in fan edits.

A sped up nightcore edit of Peppermint by Jack Stauber, the short surreal pop clip heard on TikTok in 2020 and used for edits and fan videos.
This is a very short nightcore version of Peppermint by Jack Stauber, sped up and pitch shifted so the already quirky vocal sounds higher, brighter and more frantic. The original has a lo-fi, off-kilter pop feel with warbling synths and a dreamlike melody, and the nightcore edit pushes that oddness further. In just a moment the clip gives a sugary but unsettling energy, like a cartoon that turns slightly strange. Listeners familiar with Stauber recognise his signature surreal style instantly, while new listeners hear a catchy, weird snippet that sticks in the head.
