Kind of off-topic but I always considered solarpunk to be a somewhat wholesome version of a sustainable future. While the rest of "punk" genres are usually "high X, low life".

Is it that solarpunk is rather "punk" in the sense of rebellion against the status-quo, or is it something I'm missing and solarpunk also follows "low life" formula?

Imo the "punk" in solarpunk is having any kind of hope for the future, in an otherwise dire world.

Not to say guerilla gardening/grafting isn't inherently solar punk.

It also appears people forgot about the community focused nature of punk. When your set is only 30 minutes how do you fill out a 2 hour show? You have a community of people that play music you like.
