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

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!
