Dammit these genre's are awesome. I've never actually read something that could be one of them, but I notice that I use elements of them alot in my fiction.

My favorite's Clock Punk. Man, all those intricate gears all winding together...I notice a lot of my stories have at least on place where there's nothing but endlessely compicated gears and machinery all grinding and clanking together. Dammit, the "X Punk" genre's are awesome.

Desert Punk is about the only I don't like, since it doesn't focus on ludicrously complicated machinery as much as the others.

I'm more a fan of Scenery Gorn-filled After the End scnerario's for my post-apoplyptic stories.

I read "Disease Punk" instead of "Diesel Punk".

Damn, IJAM is a slow forum. Stuff in IJBM would get tons of replies by now.

To be honest, I think that I don't like Cyberpunk. The aesthetic, yeah, but Neuromancer was eh.

The main reason I love the "X Punk" genre's are the aesthetics, I'll agree with you there.

Speaking if Punk Punk, is it possible for there to ones based on themes instead of time periods? We need stuff like Mamga Punk, Racing Punk, Gear Punk (Though that might be Clock Punk), Water Punk, Ice Punk....

Sorta like that, I was thinking a world run completely by auto racing. My god, a series like that would be the best thing ever.
