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.
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?
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
