> solar punk I'm starting to lose sight of what the word punk represents

• smegsicle 3y ago
  it's used to describe flavors of angsty dystopia, much as -gate is used to refer to careless conspiracy scandals

    Not really. Solarpunk is utopian, steampunk isn't angsty. If anything it just describes aesthetics related to technology and energy in a sci-fi setting, that may or may not have political undertones.

      I don't know if it's utopian, but it's hopeful. It's the way up after the corporations (or some other disaster) tore everything down.
