Mid 20th century: Atom punk
But "atom" or "atomic" was the more commonly used word at the time, especially in a positive context.I thought that was 'Nukepunk'? Nukepunk certainly sounds cooler.
I like 'atom' better.I thought that was 'Nukepunk'? Nukepunk certainly sounds cooler.
Clockpunk (I've also heard Cogpunk) is more Leonardo da Vinci type stuff. XV Century.Or Ring of Red.
Whats clockpunk? Clockwork I guess? I thought that was Baroquepunk.
Clockpunk is the usually accepted name for Leej's "DaVincipunk".
And it is kinda funny that cyberpunk doesn't fit on the scale anymore.
What's pre-renaissance? Feudalpunk? (I don't know whether that's even possible, but it would be cool, which is the whole point of -punk.)
Oh wait... WoW is World of Warcraft, ain't it? I get it now.You don't bloody well say.

I'd say Feudalpunk would be worlds like the World At War series by Harry Turtledove or Wyrms by Orson Scott Card or The Sword Of Truth series or He-Man & The Masters Of The Universe or Storm Hawks or the Jak series where magic and/or fantastical creatures along with pre-renaissance(sometimes higher) tech are to a degree part of everyday life.
p.s. I have another Punk setting to put forward: Alienpunk which is basically a Punk setting in which aliens and other non-humans are either an important part of a world or are the main sentients in said world the Oddworld series and the Barsoom series the aforementioned Wyrms are examples of this setting(the Redwall series would also be a member of said genre but that series doesn't have much in the way of technology or magic and is a tad on the happy side even if it does have great villains).
