I also really dig hopepunk (2017), the opposite of grimdark. And shout out to A Half Built Garden, (2022) a sci-fi first-encounter book described as solarpunk, hopepunk, and (coining the term) diaperpunk. Wikipedia:
> The various "-punk" subgenres are connected by the idea of social disruption. Hopepunk in speculative fiction explores resistance, rebellion, and resilience as counters to apathy and cynicism.

I heard the other opinion that all "punk" are connected that they're all dystopia, but in different flavors. This is specifically an argument against this depiction of solarpunk and that hopepunk is inherently incoherent.
