Solarpunk is a utopian and optimistic artistic style that tends to blend futuristic cityscapes with environmental themes such as greenspace, urban gardens, etc. It's generally regarded as the opposite of the more pessimistic and dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic popularized by video games including Cyberpunk 2077.
Origin[edit | edit source]
The term was originally coined in 2008[1] but saw a surge (showing on Google Trends[2]) after the Chobani yoghurt commercial Dear Alice was published on Youtube in July 2021.[3]
It was only after the commercial that solarpunk became more than an art movement (opposed to the cyberpunk style).[4]
