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.
Dieselpunk
1920s up through WWII, ending at just about the Cold War.
Decopunk
A cleaner, artistic, more “optimistic” version of Dieselpunk (same time period)
Clockpunk
Covers the time of the Renaissance (think da Vinci)
Atompunk
Cold War era, ie: the Space Race
Teslapunk
Derivative of Steampunk, but focuses on electricity rather than steam.
Splatterpunk
Explicit horror and gore
Biopunk
Biotechnology, genetics (part science fiction, part real life)
Nanopunk
Nanotechnology, sometimes overlaps with Biopunk
Cyberpunk
The granddaddy of them all: computer technology, the internet, hackers, etc.
Others not included in the infographic
Elfpunk
Fantasy-based, features creatures like elves and fairies.
Mythpunk
Mythology and folklore, includes urban fantasy.
Reblog if your tumblr url is the same one you started with.
This is a serious thing. Im curious how many people over the course of year(s) kept the same tumblr handle. A ton of the people I follow have changed their over time.
As far as I know Im one of the few who havent. Few being relative as there are millions of tumblr users. But yeah.
