aribSo, Steampunk is a speculative fiction genre that extrapolates out an alternate history based on an aesthetic from the 19th century.
Dieselpunk, rocketpunk and atompunk represent the first half of the twentieth century, more-or-less.
Would a genre based on the aesthetic of the 1970s be called plasticpunk? (one word, kid...)
What would it look like? I'm picturing chunky computers that have tiny little screens surrounded by huge plastic bezels, little square cars, rotary telephones with angular handsets, etc. etc.
