Wtf is "atompunk" and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don't see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.
Atompunk is like a specific esthetic. Imagine cold war era, but with the what they thought looked futuristic made real. Think themes around nuclear annihilation, global espionage, alternate-history and retrofuturism.
If you know the Fallout videogames, like that.
