Emerging in the late 20th century, decopunk emphasizes the luxury and glamour of the 1920s and '30s while integrating advanced technological motifs and dystopian elements. It is markedly similar to steampunk but differentiates itself through the use of smoother lines, richer materials, and a generally shinier, more opulent aesthetic. This style often reflects a sophisticated, optimistic vision of technology, set against the backdrop of economic prosperity and cultural flourish that defines the Art Deco era.
