Artcore

The antonym of "hardcore" in the context of gaming. To play a game on an easy difficulty just out of appreciation of the story, art, music, etc.

Johnny's such an artcore gamer - all he ever cares about is the music in old 8-bit games.

Artcore

A music genre made in the Netherlands in 1993. It's a subgenre from hardcore/gabber and it has some influences of DNB and Breakcore. It was mainly made by Ruffneck Records. It died down in around 2000 but it is still made nowadays, even by the founder: Patrick van Kerckhoven (Ruffneck, Knightvision, Juggernaut, Wedlock, Undercover Anarchist, Diss Reaction etc.).

"What genre do you like?"
"I like artcore."
"Isn't artcore some Japanese breakcore?"
"Hell no."

Post-Artcore

A shitty non-genre of music that kids your roommates sister brings over use to describe the music they like or play when they're trying to sound intelligent, cultured and like they appreciate the dichotomy of music, when in reality, they listen to Oceana.

Dumbass: I can't tell you the name of my band, because we're going to be a big deal, and we want to keep it under wraps. But we play Post-Artcore. We're influenced by... (Starts to name-drop a bunch of shitty bands), So you know, it's awesome.

Me: You're a moron.

ardcore

Hardcore. A british strain of language birthed this pronunciation of the word "Hardcore". A derision of the early U.K. rave slogan "Hardcore you know the score". It also became synonymus with the transition of the early 90's acid house and northern U.K oldschool breakbeat scene, as it transformed into Jungle or Drum & bass.

1. "That shit was Ardcore, you know the score."

2. "That last track sounded more ardcore, it had more riddims, horns, and breaks... it was mental."

3. "Ardcore junglism"
