Steampunk,Dieselpunk,Cyberpunk...
| Daft Punk, clearly
| Atompunk??
| Solarpunk is slowly gaining terrain.
Basically is an environmental utopia.
| Biofunk.
| The main ones are:
-19th century era: Steampunk, Clockpunk, and Teslapunk.
-20th century era: Dieselpunk, Decopunk, and Atompunk.
-21st century era: Cyberpunk, Nanopunk, and Biopunk.
| Most of these tend to carry along with it a theme of sorts. 19th century is a time of technological discovery. 20th century is a era of war and unease. 21st century is a period of uncertainty and chaos.
| Things such as Solarpunk, Nukepunk, or Hydropunk has not been discussed much, because these energy sources, though fascinating, don't really correlate with anything that most deem pivotal to the course of humanity.
| Dunno why I went on a banter, but there's a crash course of what makes something punked or not, I guess.
| I would not put Solar and Hydro on the same level as Nuke. Nuke has all the political drama from cold war going for it. The "nuke wasteland" dystopia type shit
| >@4oo12f
What would you classify the va11halla as? Would you say this classification is consistent with the 'theme' of va11halla?
| I like steampunk for being quite classy.
| >>144185 True. I always thought that Nukepunk should've replaced Decopunk as one of the main themes, since Decopunk is basically Dieselpunk, but they focus on different aspects of the early 20th century. Diesel has more war and oil, while deco is more about urbanization and chrome. But funny enough, the cold war thing manifested in Atompunk and the space race, and even though the arms race was more explored, Nukepunk didn't took off. Probably because it wasn't aesthetic enough. End
| >>144204 VA-11 HALL-A is textbook Cyberpunk, just that it ignores the main theme and decides to put the spotlight on what daily life would've been like, as is the goal of the game. A thing to remember is that while 'cyber' is a catch-all term for anything tech-related, we should now make the distinction that it is about data. He who holds knowledge holds power, and here in the game we see Zaibatsu with their monopoly on pretty much everything.
| This is why hackers play such a large role in Cyberpunk fiction. The war of the future isn't won with material things, but by the manipulation of morale, morality, and the flow of information,
| Communist Atompunk war
That's beautiful

| Is any other than a I forget?
I love Steampunk design.
Dieselpunk with the movie "brazil"
And of course the cyberpunk.
But there's another type a forget?
