Dimitri DhuyvetterI was thinking about how a friend living in a van (which has a diesel engine) described himself as a #dieselpunk. I thought now that I live on a sailboat I’d consider myself a #seapunk. Obviously I’ve discovered since that Seapunk is an #aesthetic and doesn’t have anything to do with a lifestyle or punk. I do feel u want to reclaim the term. And since the aesthetic seems to have run its course and kinda fizzled out it probably is ready to be recuperated. #cruisingLife #sailing #sailpunk
I guess Oceanpunk better describes what I had in mind and as we are sailing the oceans it probably is an as much it even more appropriate term. According to Aesthetics Wiki it corresponds with what I had in mind: like steampunk but nautical. #oceanpunk #nautical #aesthetics https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Oceanpunk
Oceanpunk
Oceanpunk is a science fiction genre centred around technology used to explore, colonise or traverse the sea, as well as humanity's relationship with the sea in a sometimes apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic environment. Oceanpunk's visual aesthetic has a lot similarities and connections with steampunk, most notably the wooden ships and buildings and sometimes Victorian style technology. Not to be confused with Seapunk, a sea-themed fashion aesthetic popularised in the 2000s on Tumblr The genres co
Actually the best word I can come up with us #sailPunk as it combines the #sailing technology and the #punk lifestyle/aesthetics (I agree punk is not an aesthetics or a lifestyle but I couldn’t think of a better description). It is like #solarPunk instead of #steamPunk (I really do not like steampunk) where as #oceanpunk seems to almost a sub genre of steampunk. And although #seaPunk is related to #cyberPunk which I appreciate it seems to exist only online.
The reason I am thinking of this so much lately is because I have an idea for a book or series of books set in a future/alternative reality where people built communities on the water using only renewable energy such as solar and wind. So it’s more related to solar punk or diesel punk (if that’s a real thing). With diesel punk I mean communies of people living in vans and trucks like the wagenplatz in Germany: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wagenplatz #dieselpunk #wagenplatz #sailpunk #solarpunk
