Is there a 'punk' genre that DOESN'T make the future look like shit?

Well, Cyberpunk is based around the idea of the transition to a monoculture. So it's short-term bad, long-term good.

And to think I got my favorite puppet out. Hmph.

Just kidding, of course. I do enjoy the genre, and have based my nation and all of its factbooks on it.
"Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.''
-Theodore Roosevelt
"With a gentleman I am always a gentleman and a half, and with a fraud I try to be a fraud and a half."
-Otto von Bismarck
“The greatest and noblest pleasure which we have in this world is to discover new truths, and the next is to shake off old prejudices.”
-Fredrick the Great
"Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners."
-Vladimir Lenin
"It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are charming or tedious."
Oscar Wilde

If you like NationStates, this game is definitely for you. Customization, construction, policy dictation, all the good stuff.
