cyberpunk

\nsteampunk
\nheliumpunk
\nclockpunk<\/p>\n

“punk” is used to create subgengreas of science fiction, and it’s getting a bit worn. (and methinks i’m not alone<\/a>)<\/p>\n

what better way to kill a meme than by overusing it? let’s come up with a punk definition of the whole periodic table! either cite examples of relevant works or come up with your own.<\/p>\n

i’ll start with lithiumpunk:
\nin a society that has become so obsessed with individual endevours that people have been transformed into raving lunatics, everyone is on downers to treat their mania – going to work means not using the anti-mania drugs for a week or so, reverting to a naturally occuring state of frenzy wherein you become a different subject under the law. (basically becoming a shark in feeding frenzy and not responsible for your moral actions)<\/p>\n

typical quote: Stephens gag reflex was well honed; the rising bile forced back, as he clamoured alongside four other manii towards the customer. -Four more hours, he thought dimly, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153four more hours and then he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be on lith for a week.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

The periodic table is here: wikipedia.org<\/a><\/p>\n
