Solarpunk
Solarpunk is a literary and artistic movement that envisions and works toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature and community. The "solar" represents solar energy as a renewable energy source and an optimistic vision of the future that rejects climate doomerism, while the "punk" refers to the countercultural, post-capitalist, and decolonial enthusiasm for creating such a future. As a science fiction literary subgenre and art movement, solarpunk works address how the future might look if humanity succeeded in solving major contemporary challenges with an emphasis on sustainability, human impact on the environment, and addressing climate change and pollution. Especially as a subgenre, it is aligned with cyberpunk derivatives, and may borrow elements from utopian and fantasy genres. Solarpunk can risk being greenwashed through aesthetics that give the appearance of sustainability without addressing the root causes of actual environmental issues. Backgroun ...

Punk (fireworks)
A punk is a smoldering stick used for lighting firework fuses. It is safer than a match or a lighter because it can be used from a greater distance and does not use an open flame. They are made of bamboo and a brown coating of compressed sawdust. Punks often resemble sticks of incense, and in some countries actual incense sticks are used in a similar fashion. Punks are sold at nearly all firework stands and many stands will include them for free with a purchase.

Punk (magazine)
''Punk'' was a music magazine and fanzine created by cartoonist John Holmstrom, publisher Ged Dunn, and "resident punk" Legs McNeil in 1975. Its use of the term " punk rock", coined by writers for ''Creem'' magazine a few years earlier to describe the simplistic and crude style of '60s garage rock bands, further popularized the term. The founders were influenced by their affection for comic books and the music of The Stooges, the New York Dolls, and The Dictators. Holmstrom later called it "the print version of The Ramones". It was also the first publication to popularize the CBGB scene. ''Punk'' published 15 issues between 1976 and 1979, as well as a special issue in 1981 (''The D.O.A. Filmbook''), a 25th anniversary special in 2001 and 3 final issues in 2007. ''Punk'' was a vehicle for examining the underground music scene in New York, and primarily for punk rock as found in clubs like CBGB, Zeppz, and Max's Kansas City.

Punk (Chai Album)
''Punk'' (stylized in all caps) is the second studio album by Japanese band Chai. The album was released on February 13, 2019, by Otemoyan Records. It was released on March 15, 2019, in North America and Europe by Burger Records and Heavenly Recordings, respectively. Composition AllMusic's Tim Sendra felt the record left some of the rap rock influences prominent on ''PINK'' behind in exchange for more pop-oriented stylings. Indeed, ''PUNK'' dives into several pop-based genres from bubblegum to indie to synth-pop. Kicking off the record is "Choose Go!", a "punchy" piece of "cheerleader rock", that features " synths that churn like vacuum cleaners." Following is "the pulsing electronic pop" of "Great Job". "Wintime" is "Paramore-plucked, rose-tinted tropic- pop". "This is CHAI", the record's only song to have its writing credited to all four members, has been called everything from post-punk to Europop to "happily corny handbag house". "Fashionista", along with "This is CHAI", "h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
