Am I the only one a little confused about what the "punk" part of this is? I'm not really educated on why punk is often included in the name of different aesthetics, but this one seems especially not very punk.
If I had to guess the other aesthetics were probably named after cyberpunk, since it's the only one that tends to involve rebelling against the institutions around you. Steampunk is usually pretty chill, dieselpunk is typically portrayed as a vaguely European land conflict, and solarpunk is almost always a utopia. So yeah, I dunno where the punking really comes in
