“Cyberpunk… Steampunk… Dieselpunk… Biopunk…  Splatterpunk…  punk, punk, punk.  Something in our creative collective has gone terribly wrong when one can just take any word and tack the letters, ‘p-u-n-k’, to the end of it and fancy that a new artistic, literary or societal genre has been produced.  That is not how it is supposed to work.  Simply adding four letters to the end of every other concept or event that comes along is tiresome and boring; it is neither imaginative nor enlightening.  It’s a real Punkgate, I tell you.”

– Kit ‘Stinky’ Seganku, as quoted in Skunkpunk Savage magazine.
