Cyberpunk is primarily focused on/associated with the dystopian aspects of society. Think capitalism, exploitation, pollution, etc.
Solarpunk is a conscious rejection of that idea, yes, but it’s less about “perfect harmony with nature” and more about reclaiming responsibility towards the climate, and ownership of our own aspects of life. Sustainability + taking power away from corporate elites puts the -punk in solarpunk, at least from my understanding of it.
Ehhh kind of?
