This one is my favourite. No forced seriousness, dystopian darkness and unrequested moralization. Brilliant style from the times with less designers but better design. The separate branch of it would be Stalker; it’s much more grounded and realistic with a character of light sadness (not to be confused with cyberpunk’s depression), but the CORE is the same.

Same reason I love Metro, the nuclear apocalypse is always so cool.

For me the best examples of the style of Atom Punk are Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. The old versions from the 1930s and 50s not the versions from the 80s (which are both good but don't look like what I'm talking about). I'm pretty sure that's where fallout got a lot of its inspiration.

Fallout is one of my favorite Post Apocalypse worlds

Fallout is retro-futuristic. It's a future based on a 1950s aesthetic. One of my favorite pieces of retro-futuristic media is the film "Iron Sky" which is about Nazis who survived WWII and have a secret moon base, from which they planned to launch an attack on the USA in 2018 (I was a producer on this film, so I'm a bit biased).

I think of Raygun Gothic as the representative of the classic Space Adventure style of genre, with fishbowl helmets, rayguns, and rockets, very much Science Fantasy. Literally fantasy adventure but IN SPACE!!! Has everything from damsels in distress, monsters to fight, and evil overlords to overthrow, while riding you loyal rocketship into the stars with your party of strange characters from friendly robots to aliens that look either too human or very alien.
Very cheesy, but fun. It used to be the stand-in theme for space in everything from LEGO to generic space toys, even Buzz Lightyear is based on the theme, until Star Wars flooded the market and now it is hard to find outside of the most generic cheap junk.
There's still a charm to all of it, im at least fairly certain it eveolved into modern day super hero comics, or at least happened at the same time as the golden age of comics. Superman fought a ton of classic Space Adventure style enemies, and he still does, when he isn't being modernized into something unrecognizable.

Yay, he made a video on atompunk! 😄

Can't wait for punk punk

[@jackdimmock4480]

I'm loving this series so much, so helpful. May I humbly throw out there, borrower punk from the english films and anime Arrietty. In dungeons and dragons, there is a campaign setting for this and a lot of punk styles can be expressed in dnd very well.

Ask some, "If old tea is used tea, what is old ink?" When they say " used ink," it sounds like "You stink." You got yourself!

Punk, Punk never changes.

[@Nalrats]

Your definition of Raypunk is interesting. I was always under the notion that Raypunk was a kind of prequel to Atompunk, so like Atompunk is more so inspired 1950s/60s media and tropes where as Raypunk is more inspired by old pulp 1920s/30s sci-fi like Flash Gordon and those old Popular Mechanics mags and Amazing stories and Astounding Stories cover art aesthetic. So basically Raypunk is pre-WW2 while Atompunk is Post-WW2.

Great video

[@av_8596]

Think you could do a video on stitchpunk?

[@duphasdan]

For me Atomicheart looks like a cross between Atompunk and Dieselpunk. Other games that are Atompunk themed are Evil Genius 1 and 2, and the rpg Encased. While I am aware Encased has a 1970s science fiction look, I consider Atompunk being anywhere from 1945 to 1980 when Steelpunk starts. It still has a colorful look to it, much like the 50s and 60s having their own respective idea of futurism.

"my thing is better than yours"
interesting kindergarten logic

[@euantheyutyrannus]

Is 'Stonepunk' one? I mean, I can only think of one example, Far Cry Primal, but really, I think it works. It possibly features in things like 'The Croods' as well.

[@vanaheimstories7530]

Time to learn about Fallout

[@alexanderdrude4265]

Diselpunk is still better than both of those)))

[@BIGESTblade]

Exactly how is this better or worse than Cyberpunk? Said so yourself, the point is critique, not aesthetics.

[@Buster-McTunder]

It’s rage bait 🤭

[@88WhiteRhino]

You say Red scare like it's a bad thing...

[@88WhiteRhino]

They are just so dislikeable unlike Diesel or Atom punk!

[@SilentForest-cs9dm]

As a former street punk, so literally an expert on the topic of punk life, I find this all idiotic
