I saw an effort at trying to systematize solarpunk elsewhere that felt a bit confused, but it reminded me of this. I’m not typically inclined to try to taxonamize everything, but I’ll admit that the appeal definitely isn’t lost on me. This felt useful.

Unqualified comment: “Solarpunk” art looks like hippie stuff, not punk.
The art could definitely be more punk, which would bring it more in line with some of the fiction and much of the IRL stuff. Much of the current art is sort of generically ecoutopian. I think a lot of that is from concept artists who don’t know what else to call a megacity with touches of green, and AI art fed off the same stuff. I’d love to see more punk, diy, and reuse elements in solarpunk art.
