Punk genres are really defined by taking the technology of a given time period, and stretching it to fantastical levels. There is contention on this point, because many believe punk genres should also be about rebellion, social alientation and sticking it to the big government. But the fact is, a lot of work in these genres doesn’t do that anymore....
Aetherpunk or Magicpunk (it also has a few other names) is probably one of the most diverse punkpunk genres. High fantasy magic creates technology more befitting of a sci-fi world, from magical skyships to aetherpowered guns, with a lot of gold and gilded things for some reason. The Eberron and Kaladesh settings by Wizards of the Coast take Aetherp...

Yep, there is one of these for basically every decade of the 20th century. Atompunk takes Mid Century Modern style, the nuclear revolution, and the Sputnik space age and mixes them all together to create something quite sleek and shiny. The Fallout series, Futurama and The Incrediblesmovies really sum up Atompunk really well. Atompunk has its own p...
Biopunk is the biological cousin of Cyberpunk. They often take place in a very similar time period, or Biopunk is the successor of cyberpunk.

In a sentence, Clockpunk is Steampunk, but slightly more antique. Clockpunk imagines Clockwork mechanisms taken to a pretty interesting level. The most fun part of clockpunk is that some parts of it are theoretically possible, just very inefficient. Clockwork mechanisms can get very complex and impressive, but require a lot of maintenance and effor...

Dieselpunk is a pretty notable example, and maybe the best known after Steampunk.

It’s start period is generally the beginning of World War I. Dieselpunk was coined for the RPG Children of the Sun. And wher...
Formicapunk is a shoutout to the 70s and 80s. A lot of Cassette Futurism is really a product of the producers of the 80s sci-fi having no clue how the future really would look, and going with what they had already. Bright colours, blocky computer screens and postmodern architecture. Many examples are actually sci-fi films and tv shows of the time p...

Lx_Kill3rK1ng_xJ. •. For me, the difference between older pop-punk and punk rock is more in the lyrics, punk rock is more political while pop punk usually talks about personal issues.
