Talk:Cyberpunk derivatives

Most "Sub"-Genres don't come from Cyberpunk

Well, most of these Genres don’t come from Cyberpunk and aren’t influenced by it, either. The only thing in common is the ending „-punk“, which was taken from Cyberpunk, because it was big in Media, and Steampunk needed a name, they took the „-punk“ from Cyberpunk. The other, "newer*" genres such as Atompunk derived their name from Steampunk because they are also largely retrofuturistic. It was only later that smaller things like "solarpunk" and the like were added.

• like Steampunk they existed before there was a Name for it, escpecially the Retro-Futuristic ones (inspired by the actual future visions of „their“ era)

Agreed, many of the *punk subgenres do not seem noteworthy and their connection to Cyberpunk is tenuous at best but Elfpunk and Mythpunk seem entirely out of place in this article. I should have deleted them already but I thought I'd give editors a chance to move them somewhere more appropriate.

If nobody objects, I'll move Elfpunk to Urban Fantasy and Mythpunk to Mythic Fiction. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 14:56, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Not a strong objection, but is there not scope for renaming this article to something broader like "genres ending in -punk", and (where the genres can be sourced) keeping them? Belbury (talk) 15:51, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

"List of genres named "-punk"", maybe? CohenTheBohemian (talk) 14:37, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Or that could just be a separate article that lists them all without going into much detail.

Just seems like there should be a direct way for a reader to get from, say, Lunarpunk to Mythpunk without having to guess that the mythic fiction article exists and might contain more -punks. Belbury (talk) 15:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
