Solarpunk, lunarpunk, diaperpunk, hopepunk, gnomecore, goblincore, cottagecore...I love me some cozy genres of scifi and fantasy meant to envision better ways of interacting with the world. It is funny to me that there are so many people asking for new types of genres, prior to the stories themselves being written.

I guess folks are just tired of Superheroes, Dystopia, Cyberpunk and other Dying Earth genres [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dying_Earth_(ge...].
