What is your favorite kind of Technology "Punk"

[Mr.Squishy]

While I sort of agree with the person with the cat avatar, I've found a lot of good cyberpunk. Deus Ex (Original and HR), Shadowrun, Cyberpunk 2020(and the upcoming 2070), Ghost in the Shell and I just bought Neuromancer. Yes, they're mostly all tacky as fuck, and often present ridiculous future visions(though I feel DE:HR nailed what the augmented future might be like), but there are also interesting concepts buried within, and truth be told, sometimes a bit of camp can be really fun.
Edit: After reading the thread again, I see people going on about PostCyberpunk, which I had no idea was a thing. Anyone got recommendations for where to start with it?

I'm a Cyperpunk guy myself. I dunno, I just really dig the constant rain, and the stories that even with all this technology, life is still a crapshoot

All the steampunk love in this thread is disgusting >:C

Anyone remember dieselpunk?

Brother!

But, yeah, seriously, Diselpunk is easily my favourite. You take all the stuff that happened to America from WWI to the fifties - a time period which encompasses two world wars, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and Prohibition, and a dozen artistic movements - and then you throw in technological advancements that allow for hovercraft, huge airliners, and hitherto unheard of weapons of war combined with a thorough sense of man's insignificance in the world?

Shit is cash, yo.

Spoiler: Plus it looks cool.

I wish they would all go away equally, They feel so contrived and visually tacky. The more you emulate some fantasy setting, the more boring and predictable it gets, as the design decisions are made for you. I wish here was more exploration of different themes, rather than trying to fit them into specific constructs :c

In soviet internet, construct fits you!
But really, you don't usually go about writing a setting that is specifically cyber/steam/whatever-punk. Someone might like swords, magic, and steam machinery, so they write a story with those elements in it. They don't write to fit into a genre; the label is applied by the audience. Though the artist is more than likely aware that it's steam-punk as he's writing it, but that's beside the point.
What you're saying doesn't actually make much sense to begin with. You might as well say crime dramas or romance novels should go away because they're trying to fit into specific constructs.

Clockpunk. Love the whole cogs and gears motif. Steampunk on its own is a bit too Victorian for my tastes.

Not only because of the manga, but it has a big part in it^^
