Well, hardcore is a form of punk-rock, indeed, BUT it is also a form of INFAMOUS techno.
Imagine, at least 200BPM, a piercing bassdrum (think resonating TB303), vocal samples played to a high pitch and looped noise samples. If you want a good example of this crap, try any demo/tune by Jormas (yes, the Amiga demo-group).
Alternatively, you have gabber, which is even more extreme and contains samples from Metal riffs, played high-pitched, too.
Awful!...
Techno is vomit but hardtech is MICROWAVED vomit!
Be funky
