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. (So I tagged it {{Split section}}. -- 109.78.193.90 (talk) 16:58, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]
