LOL. That was hilarious. Poor idiotic propertarians accidentally invited a real anarchist, when they probably thought they’d invited one of their fake ones who thinks he’s going to abolish the state by creating a private one.
“Shreds Crypto” as in somehow pushing a narrative or as in the way you could shred actual money?
As in deconstructing false narratives used to greenwash crypto.
Solarpunk? Lol. Why is every new genre -punk?
I don’t understand the attack on a genre that’s about creating a sustainable future
the history of punk is about rebellion and fighting back, while not always good it sometimes has its merits such as self-defense or fighting back against an unfair world
My issue isn’t with the genre itself, just this trend in naming genres. It feels very overused.

This summed it up really well! “-punk” is definitely overused but it legitimately fits cyberpunk and solarpunk.
I can get behind techno-anarchism…
Solarpunk was coined 15 years ago at this point - its just a subgenre of a greater genre. Nothing over used about it at all.
We need words for the things we want and the communities around those ideas.
I know that cyberpunk is often overused
can’t say I’ve personally heard of anything else having the “punk” postfix conjunction besides steampunk and solarpunk
I know that steampunk is kinda common but once you get to solarpunk is there anything else?
- after writing this out I realized there’s probably more as all of these (if I remembered correctly) originated out of science-fiction (or just fiction) literature
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)
going back to your main point I still don’t think the punk conjuntion is an overused trend, cyberpunk I could agree on based on the plethora of book, tv shows, movies, and games but for the rest I’m still unconvinced

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

Depends on the game, 10 is kinda post-apocalyptic tidalpunk, 7 and 8 are definitely dieselpunk and 9 is basically steampunk with magic.
What they all have in common is that they’re visions of a possible future packaged in a coherent aesthetic.
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!🤗
