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

This is interesting to listen to, because it shows that they, like many others, don't actually know what Lunarpunk is, or what it represents.

lol. That did seem to be the case although, as they pointed out, it's pretty young and still being defined in some ways. You're right, though, it wasn't the most informative and it would have benefited from another perspective . I believe they've interviewed more informed people about it in the past.

I would love to see them do a follow-up eventually. Admittedly, this also reinforces the idea of a definition being formed fully of what Lunarpunk is, but that could be a podcast all on its own, lol.
