What is Lunarpunk? (solarpunkmagazine.com)

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.

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!

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.

Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms
