  • Cyberpunk 2077 is just around the corner, but I doubt it's the first or last cyberpunk anything you've seen! Today, however, we're going to be talking about 14 punk genres that are neither Cyberpunk nor it's popular co-hort, Steampunk!

    As the person who coined the term “Dreadpunk,” I can verify that it is indeed a newfangled way of saying “Gothic horror.” I created it, fang-in-cheek, to describe the wave of Gothic horror that we saw a couple of years ago: Penny Dreadful, Crimson Peak, etc. I love that stuff but the term itself was largely a goof.

      Thanks for not being insulting about the term. The humor of it flew over a lot of people’s heads. I’m sincere about the material but come on… much like the original usage of steampunk or splatterpunk, it’s not meant to be taken 100% seriously.

    Here are a couple more punk genres that are less thought about:
    Skypunk/sailpunk - this genre is classified by flying airships. Specifically Flying vessels reminiscent of boats crossed with blimps or hot air balloons. Basically lots of canvas, wood, rope, sails, and balloons. While it can be incorporated into steampunk and similar genres with steam-powered blimps and such, pure skypunk will primarily harness the wind to move the ships around like sailboats rather than some other major fuel source. Treasure Planet is probably the most notable work that falls within this genre.
    Oceanpunk - This genre is like steampunk but underwater. The style draws from the style of old diver helmets and nautical equipment designed to be submerged in the ocean. The movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire draws a bit from this aesthetic with its submarine. Gungan City in Star Wars also has many oceanpunk characteristics.
    One really cool source of a lot of these punk genres similar to steampunk is the Myst games. They have lots of steam, sky, and ocean punk elements throughout.

    Airships are plentiful.
    Expect at least a small sprinkle of supernatural elements (think pirates of the Caribbean)
    The "Clockpunk" described here is similar, but that focuses more on the Renaissance/Baroque era (I know it as "Da Vinci Punk")

    One that is probably really niche is Fleshpunk, in which living, organic components are used in technology, structures, and just the world itself. I remember a David Cronenberg movie about living video game controllers that you plug into yourself. And this genre has a couple video game mentions, such as Agony (and its upcoming sequel), where you travel through a Hell that is composed of fleshy terrain and squishy buildings, and then the upcoming game, Scorn, which has factories and machinery made of bone and flesh, and you even wield a living gun!

    It occurred to me while I was re-watching this that there's another aspect to silkpunk you didn't mention--I'm guessing because you might not have known; I think it's kind of obscure. That's the idea that Far Eastern research into the development and application of gunpowder went a lot further than it did in reality, up to and including the use of gunpowder as a fuel in mechanical engines--basically think of a steam or piston engine that runs on gunpowder instead of coal or gasoline. The only example I can name is Gunpowder Alchemy by Jeannie Lin.

      Yeah. Not a "punk" as often it comes through in steelpunk. As we modernize, it becomes a way of giving characters physical objects to hold as opposed to cyperpunk where objects are virtual. Cassettes replace books and can carry information in a way that is easy to produce and requires characters be physically somewhere to share and use.

    Solar Punk- Idealistic future setting run on sustainable energy and covered in greens
    Scavenged Punk- Everything is dredged up from the world that was before. Sure, you see it in Mad Max, but it also applies to settings filled with little people and living rodents, borrowing resources from the big folks.
    Ocean Punk- Adventure out on the high seas, with wooden ships, iron men and pirates for days
    Desert Punk- Technically part of both Cattle Punk and Steelpunk, but could warrant a mention of its own
    Dungeon Punk- Medieval fantasy is taken to the logical extreme, with mighty machines that run on pure magic
    And last but not least,
    Capepunk- Punk sensibilities applied to superheroes for realism (read: cynicism) showing the consequences of thrusting superpowers on ordinary young people hopped up on angst.

    One of my favorite punk generes is sailpunk, based on worlds that mainly use the wind and air to power every day life.
    Makn elements:
    -Flying ships, Old planes, Zeppelins and Hot air balloons
    -Floating islands
    -Strandbeest
    -Metereology
    -Ports and sailors
    -Ornitopters
    -Sand oceans
    -Riggety and tall structures
    -Old aviator attire
    -Windmills
    -Gliders
    -Sand sailing
    -Piracy
    Examples:
    -Treasure planet (kinda?)
    -Castle in the sky (kinda??)
    -Naausicaa and the valley of the wind (except for the metal stuff)
    -Avatar: the last airbender (In some aspects)
    All examples I can think of off the top of my head have been tainted by other generes, but still.

    Clockpunk is often attributed to the Renaissance, but need not dwell there. A particularly good example is Benoit Socal's Syberia games, which takes place in the 1990s and has mechanically powered technology of what can be stylistically attributed to Deco and Diesel (I don't know how to classify spring-powered soviet spacecraft though).

    About Biopunk, what's on my mind are stories that revolve around devices or machines that are made mostly, if not entirely, of flesh and bones. Like the flesh/bone gun and VR devices in the movie Existenz, contraptions in the game Scorn, or maybe computer mainframe made of huge brain-like structure, or maybe an array of brains interconnected to each other forming something like a grid computing. Easy to turn into a horror story but really hard to turn into other genres like action-adventure.

    What about Sailpunk or does that just blend in with Clock Punk? cause you did have the Zeppelin Sea ships that are usually the primary factor of Sail Punk, with Sailpunk being usually set in more stripped down nature filled environments. and Cassette Futurism, isn't Punk by name but is usually lumped in. There is also Aetherpunk which is a more fantasy magic version of a mix of steam and cyber punk.

    Solarpunk: a utopian outlook on the future that explores conservation and productive energy renewal. Not many films explore this but 2067 might be one.
    Hydropunk: a similar outlook on the future with a heavy emphasis on using water to fuel technology and sustain life. The UA-cam original, Sherwood, explores a dystopian world where floating towns are sustained with grown and synthetic crops and the technology reflects that. I don’t count Waterworld as that falls more into apocalyptic fiction.
