interesting tangential use by Monty Python


Interestingly the phrase also has a [[UrExample mundane meaning]] that goes back at least as far as the romans and is therefore OlderThanFeudalism. '''Hardcore''' is the builder's term for the aggregate of largely recycled materials used as infill in walls or as underlay beneath a road or concrete floor. Mediaeval castle walls are largely hardcore packed in between inner and outer faces of stone.

In gaming, this is effectively impossible to define, but is usually thought of as those who believe [[NoTrueScotsman that true "hard core" games]] require enthusiastic commitment and {{casual video game}}s should be ignored, if not locked out of "gaming proper" by definition ([[{{Irony}} meanwhile, some groups think all video games are for kids]]). In terms of marketing, there actually is a definition the industry uses for demographics to separate "core" games (i.e. games for gaming hobbyists) and "casual" games (i.e. games aimed at everyone). To put it another way, hard core gamers play for a challenge while casual gamers play for general fun, which is not to say hard core gamers are automatically StopHavingFunGuys. In fact, some hard core gamers will play at a disadvantage in order to create a bigger challenge.

"Hard Core" music can refer to one of two different types of music: [[HardcorePunk an offshoot of]] [[PunkRock punk rock]] known for its rebelliousness, screaming, and emphasis on edginess over technical skill, and [=a techno off-shoot=] characterized by fast tempos and the use of atonality and dissonance. There is also HardcoreHipHop, which talks about topics such as violence and anger.

In pornography, "hard core" porn features full [[NudityTropes nudity]], [[SexTropes sex]], and various {{fetish}}es, while "soft core" porn tends to feature only [[PartialNudityTropes partial nudity]] or the sort of (supposedly) tasteful nudes seen in magazines like ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}''. The official distinction between the two is, basically, "is there an erect penis on screen?"

Note that, in some circles, "Hardcore" can be used to refer to a work, rather than a fanbase. The usage varies depending on the medium involved; for example, a hardcore {{anime}} is a sexually-explicit one, while a hardcore [[ProfessionalWrestling professional wrestling]] match or promotion is an extremely violent one with no rules and a large amount of [[GarbageWrestler garbage wrestling]].
