One thing to remember is that many people use cool sounding words without knowing what they really mean.
There has to be some element of dystopia in cyberpunk. But it can mean badass tech that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie.
I think the only "-punk" words in common currency are cyberpunk and steampunk. I can't even imagine what solarpunk could be.
"Post-" is a cool sounding prefix that's often abused to mean stuff that's new or newish.
