can someone explain to me what hardcore is in relation to dance/techno/electronica music, or at least give me some examples so I can hear for myself?

i'm no expert in the genre or anything but i've always seen it has a harder form of techno, like hardcore punk was a harder form of punk rock.

Aphex Twin FTW.

thanks. the page you sent me had some songs, but I couldnt listen to them on my computer. I was wondering if it was just really fast techno, which would interest me.

I read the wiki, that's what made me want to make this post. I don't tend to trust wiki on genres anymore.
