Variations on a Name: The -Punks of Our Times

Here is a brief list of other similar science fiction aesthetics that have been in circulation, though not necessarily directly inspired by steampunk:

All of these -punks are derivatives of cyberpunk and steampunk, and all in good fun to give a name to aesthetics separate from each other. Bamboos and coconuts as materials gesture to the steampunk impulse to make things of whatever is available, to take one thing apart and make many things out of it. There is also much to be said about indigenous steampunk, which doesn’t have a specific term of its own, largely because there are so many indigenous peoples in the world.
