I love that I just stumbled on this channel and decided to binge, assuming this is something people know about that I’ve been missing. And then I go to like the video and it’s 7 months old with 50 likes?? And less than 1000 views?! People are sleeping on this, damn
Usually, when some calls a genre "Post", it usually means that the subject matter differs slightly from the canon form of the genre while still paying homage to said genre. An example would be Snow Crash which some people consider "Post-Cyberpunk" because the government still exists when the canon has bureaucracy being solely in the hands of megacorporations. It's like how the new punk music is called "Post-Punk" because it came after the canon age from where the original music came from.
Nowpunk: early 2000s - early 2010s retrofuturism, like a proto-cyberpunk (prototype to the cyberpunk genre) Just my opinion on how the genre works (i believe this definition works the best though; and it explains that nowpunk is more of a microgenre attached to cyberpunk)
And following that here are some recommendations of nowpunk media from me: G-force, Video game highschool (highly recommend this one) and the first three spy kids movies
I do believe there's a military edgy side to it to (which I like to call Militiapunk); with stuff like some of the battlefield games but more importantly the future half of C.O.D. black ops 2 Essentially taking Nowpunk in a military direction like dieselpunk, with some really cool tech to boot!
Mr.Robot is nowpunk, and Christian Slater is Mr.Awesomesauce. I suppose Peripheral is nowpunk (mixed with hillbillypunk) even though the vr tech taps the future. and William Shatner's Tek War might be nowpunk now that some decades have past and it's future is the presentish? ps: Belle was great. absofrikkinlutely greatnanimous.
Cassettepunk also known as Formicapunk on the list, grungepunk on the list, Discopunk not on the list, (I don’t want to do it but if someone commissions it.) shogunpunk (not on the list don’t think I can make it interesting) Flintpunk one I already did is basically tribalpunk , cowboypunk on the list, Vikingpunk maybe
@@NylasWUP The differnce between Flintpunk and tribalpunk, is tribalpunk has specific Native American aesthetics. As for Discopunk, I get some very cool results from AI art when I use it as a prompt. Shogunpunk gives off the aesthetics of ancient Japan, as Sinopunk does the same for ancient China.
I use and dev on stable diffusion. It is open source. the models are full of stolen training. the community is leet to the maxcore. it's like the early napster days, but for merged checkpoints. all my base are belong to me.
Eh…I’ve heard the same. I haven’t read the books or seen the adaptation with loki. It’s kinda my problem with Nowpunk now is such a movie target that when I saw how 70’s the aesthetic was I dropped it from the research Que (the trailer didn’t help down playing tech while hammering that status of being on a higher floor and the not twist of people going crazy.) is it now punk? Maybe but again I haven experienced it so I can’t say for sure.
Can you please do one on Lunarpunk? It's gaining a lot of cultural significance and has a rich history, past present and future. I have several playlists that encapsulates it all.
I'm disappointed that it really isn't a genre inspired by "Now That's What I Call Music" albums. Can I trademark KidzBopunk? You can add "punk" to anything, it seems.
You can't trademark something that has part of another trademark- Trust me on this; im more well versed in copyright (and trademark) law then most people (due to extensive research following the public domain, and thus copyright/trademark law)
Im gonna take a wild guess and say that's one half of wall-e's technology as a genre (the other half being BNL ships, eve, auto, the other robots on said ships, etc. I-Punk essentially) Which honestly sounds pretty cool! A contrast to I-Punk and something that works in tandem with Desertpunk!
@@mr_indie_fan think of it as a variant on elf punk and void punk. It is mainly concerned with the notion that reality isn’t real, that it’s a lie we cling to, and that although what’s really out there can be strange and horrifying it’s still better and more suited to you than what we got here. You were always a monster, now you’ve found your place and face.
@@smurphy8881 so basically you attached Lovecraftian horror to the punk genres when its already a genre on its own..... (No offense but that describes several lovecraftian horror stories from H.P.'s own stories)
