Lunarpunk is a relatively new and still underdeveloped subgenre born, or rather in the process of being born, out of solarpunk as well as science fiction and fantasy more broadly. A good way to start conceptualizing lunarpunk at a basic level is to consider it in terms of a basic and analogous relationship with solarpunk, particularly when it comes to the aesthetic aspects of the two subgenres.
I love the name and the idea. I’m def going to try to be a bigger participant of this sub!
Glad to have you here and hear you enjoy it. I haven’t been posting super consistently as of late but I welcome anyone to participate and help shape the community into what they like
Awesome to see someone make a Lunarpunk community! I personally have always seen it in relation to the night-life and night-time pagan markets, where a lot of purples, blues, silvers are all seen with the moon and stars above. The way I could see it being more seen is as a place that could be set up, such as people bringing in the means to block off a street during the night-time so that a large street can be turned into a night-time marketplace, people bringing in tables and stalls. Low light-pollution, using what is available as necessary, and going when not needed. When not in a city, then it is setting up a space in the outdoors of course. The use of low-energy tech and low-light tech to make a night-life community.
Huh, and here I was thinking it was written as ‘lunapunk’!
I guess that would make sense too as “luna” and “lunar” both have to do with the moon
I think “luna” sounds a bit more dreamy, which is what I associate with the lunarpunk vibe, maybe that’s why. But compare with solarpunk (and not solapunk or something), it makes sense!
Nice, I was really hoping someone would start a lunarpunk community!
Thanks, I figured it belongs here and now is a good time as we have so many new members.
