evil-bones-mccoy:davestridersironicgirlfriend:mayra-quijotesca:thats-not-victorian:Hey, guys! So, we’re all familiar with Cyberpunk and Steampunk, but there are so many more alternate histories/speculative science fiction genres out there! I came across this handy-dandy infographic and figured I could share a bit of these punk genres for anyone interested.Steampunk Roughly covers the Western world during the mid- to late-19th century (ie: Victorian era, US wild west, etc.), and sometimes up to the Edwardian era.Dieselpunk1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.DecopunkA cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)ClockpunkCovers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)AtompunkCold War era, ie: the Space RaceTeslapunkDerivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.SplatterpunkExplicit horror and goreBiopunkBiotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)NanopunkNanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with BiopunkCyberpunkThe granddaddy of them all: computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc. Others not included in the infographicElfpunkFantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.MythpunkMythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.Seapunk?Stonepunk, Bronzepunk, PlaguepunkOkay, uh, TW for graphic descriptions of rape in the Splatterpunk explanation link (specifically as examples of ~look how edgy and without boundaries this subgenre is~), but I think all the other links should be safe.Also, Arcanepunk is a theme with combinations of magic and science/technology, or with technology so complex it appears to be magic.I know Fyo and I really want Romanpunk to be a thing hahahaIta vero. Romanpunk needs to be a thing. And I love dieselpunk. -- source link
