    can’t say I’ve personally heard of anything else having the “punk” postfix conjunction besides steampunk and solarpunk

    Atompunk, cyberpunk, dieselpunk, tidalpunk, lunarpunk, biopunk… All they in common is they are visions of a possible future packaged in a coherent astetic.

    also sidetangent: I could be wrong but doesn’t the Final Fantasy series have ties to solarpunk or is this wrong? (kinda feels close but not quite)

    Depends on the game, 10 is kinda post-apocalyptic tidalpunk, 7 and 8 are definitely dieselpunk and 9 is basically steampunk with magic.

      huh I didn’t think of it that way till now but that’s a pretty succinct definition of the genre!

      totally fair and I’ll have to revisit this comment in between my breaks
      thanks!🤗
