    It’s called post apocalyptic for a reason. A few years from now, this genre will lose its futuristic aspect

      Hmm… I don’t think the apocalypse we get is over that quickly.

        Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button

      Considering I will die come the apocalypse, post apocalypse will always be futuristic to me.

      Are you saying something is going to be uncovered?

      i think the futuristic aspect will stay still it’s a future of an alternate world - think steampunk, victorian scifi but still scifi. this is atomic age scifi

        They even have a name for it: Atompunk. It’s got all the aesthetics of the mid-century, but with nuclear power.

        I’ve been partial to dieselpunk myself, though. Interwar grittyness really cinches it for me.
