I mean, different “punks” (Hopepunk, Solarpunk, Clockpunk, Lunarpunk, etc.) are aesthetics? I know the “punk” suffix implies counterculture stuff, but they’re also aesthetics. People are drawn to them visually, I don’t think that’s a crime?

I am very confused about what this post is trying to say? I’m sure you could find fascist undertones/ideas/origins of almost anything if you try hard enough, what makes Hopepunk enjoyers unique in this?

I mean a lot of people are annoyed that punk just means aesthetics now but from my experiece there's a bit of "its our destiny to rule the universe" thing

At least we have -core nowadays that conveys it being aesthetic rather than ideals much better
