So I was thinking about different world aesthetics like cyberpunk, steampunk, ecs, and I wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas for something similar. I thought of honeypunk, a world based around and powered by honey, all the rich are just people with monopolies on different types of flowers.

Witchpunk, where witches dress like delinquents and take lunch money while saying "whacha lookin' at, punk?"

Thats a good idea actually, but i think flower can be easily obtained if you just have a dirt

Solarpunk. A dystopian future where most of the energy and technology has renewable energy sources.

There's literally a whole massive group of genres and aesthetics centered around something-punk, or punkpunk as it's often called. A couple of the better known ones are cyberpunk, steampunk, solarpunk, dieselpunk, manapunk, chempunk, but nothing stops you from coming up with your own, and there aren't any real limits there other than imagination. Tale Foundry made an interesting video about it.

One idea I had is spacepunk, centered around megastructures in space, but honestly, at some point it becomes more about the concept itself than its name; you could probably create tens of different punkpunk genres just by reading older books and making up names to describe them.

Gunkpunk. Capitalism has taken over galactic federation, factories covering planets and other stellar masses has increased the demand for waste disposal real estate.

In mind of that, Federation has officially converted the inhabitable Helio star system into gunkyard. Cutting edge researchers have come together to create lifeforms that thrive on the by-products of factories. This ecosystem is said to be closely monitored for safety and ethical compliance in regards to federation laws.

Asthma punk, dystopia where pollution is so bad that everyone has asthma.

Nah it won't work.
State-enforced population control and government-mandated time slots for self-pleasuring and regulated porn consumption are not in the playbook or something? What about a monopoly on allowing who can date whom?

Huh. Weird. Oh well, if it isn't working, it isn't working.
