It's called post apocalyptic for a reason. A few years from now, this genre will lose its futuristic aspect
Hmm... I don't think the apocalypse we get is over that quickly.
Yeah, those in power are really dragging this out.
Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button
You might be right but I'm not going to give up hope that easily
Considering I will die come the apocalypse, post apocalypse will always be futuristic to me.
Are you saying something is going to be uncovered?
i think the futuristic aspect will stay still it's a future of an alternate world - think steampunk, victorian scifi but still scifi. this is atomic age scifi
They even have a name for it: Atompunk. It's got all the aesthetics of the mid-century, but with nuclear power.
I've been partial to dieselpunk myself, though. Interwar grittyness really cinches it for me.
