Is solarpunk really punk though? Its like saying Utopias are punk.
It is. The difference is cyberpunk is "this is what will happen if we don't fight back against the system" and Solarpunk is "this is what we could have if we DO fight back against the system".
Solarpunk is often displayed as pretty post apocalyptic, but in a green, scrapper, free way
Solarpunk seems positioned pretty firmly against the established corporate world. If being anti-establishment isn't punk, I'm not sure what is.
In this scenario, solar energy is the establishment though.
That's not what establishment means
It is inherently NOT punk.
How so?
You know how the stuff -gate means scandal? -punk means fictional genre, or aesthetic.
Maybe now but that is not what it meant in the 80s when cyberpunk and cypherpunk were coined. I am sure the punks are quite pissed off that their movement has been reduced to an aesthetic.
