Welp I had too much caffeine and Sparklepunk has three subgenres now. Oops.

- Princesspunk- Princesspunk is sparklepunk with an emphasis on Princesses and more explicitly based on the original fairytale esque vibe I based Sparklepunk on originally. Fairytale kingdoms with a progressive fantasy take are a must. The Princesses themselves must have agency and take action to get their own Happily Ever After™. Ohh and add unicorns , and pretty ponies . Always a must.

- Witchpunk- Sparklepunk based around mages that plays with the typical aspects of a witch with a fun sparkly twist (the Sparklepunk aesthetic if you will) .

- Jewelpunk - this is kinda loosely defined I guess but let me explain. Jewelpunk is all about jewels, gems, crystals and minerals and runic magic. It has the usual hallmarks of Sparklepunk but with a focus on magic and the earth. Aesthetics may involve architecture heavily featuring gemstone and mineral . Has strong themes of environmentalism along with Sparklepunk's feminine empowerment.

I will add notes as I think of more and may tweak these things.

While I'm on my dieselpunk and decopunk kick I'm thinking about a bunch of stuff at the enthusiast level since it's so hard to have large events currently. So here are some thoughts on how to further enjoy the genre as much as possible either at home or in small group outings. I'll start with music and add on from there.

1. Music - This could be a very long post but I'll keep it short here: The 1990s had a swing revival alongside a wave of Ska that faded out but quite a few of the current electro-swing groups have members of these bands. If you like electro-swing you'll probably like some of the 90s stuff too. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Royal Crown Revue practically launched the scene and are absolutely worth checking out. Postmodern Jukebox is one you've likely heard of but in case you haven't their covers of contemporary music in jazz or swing styles are a good way to start exploring the musical genre. Also often overlooked is the Barbershop Quartet, a style that predates the target time period by a lot but a revival started in the 1930s that continues today. A lot of the films from the Golden Age of Hollywood had impressive soundtracks that made great background music.

Next up I'll talk a bit about wardrobes for the two subgenres.

Trap-Fi "The New Trap Order"

Trap-Fi is a subgenre of Trap that emerged in the mid-2020s, pioneered by producer FreshDuzIt and members of his Platinum Playmakas in-house beat group, who were influenced by the more minimalistic production of trap pioneer's Zaytoven and D.Rich. The Trap-fi sound is defined by its common use of chimpunk soul samples and rhytmic drum and hi-hat patterns, subby 808s and heavy low end, 90's & 2010's samples, digital pads, and Mob like Pianos and synths. Productions almost exclusively use claps on third beats, while snares are reduced to only being on half beats. Songs are commonly mid-tempo between 135 and 152BPM, although producers have made tracks outside this tempo range. Abundant producer tags are another common element of the style, most notably the iconic "NothingLiketheotherz!" tag used by Platinum Playmakas members. Producers have also very frequently combined the production techniques of the genre with Plugg Rap. FreshDuzIt remains the style's most well known and influential producer, producing tracks for many Underground rappers, most notably his frequent work with NLE Choppa.

The most common types of vocals on tracks range from standard trap rapping, to melodic Pop Rap, to rapping with autotune, which artists in the latter style and their fans have dubbed . The style has also grown beyond Platinum Playmakas circle, with many producers such as , Zaytoven pushing the style, and even collaborating with the group's members. Trap-fi producers, such as Lul Boobie and Bhz C.o, have also taken the genre's production styles into a more energetic and higher-tempo direction, with bouncier melodies, static hi hat patterns, and more liberal use of snares.

Here are art pieces I did for each of the sub-genres of horror stories. I hope they can inspire even just one person to write or create someone for SQ Halloween Week 2022

What's the Difference Between Grimdark and Dark Fantasy?

Ah, the world of fantasy literature. A realm brimming with noble heroes, wondrous magic, and epic battles fought for the very fate of existence... But let’s face it, sunshine and rainbows can get a tad boring after a while. Enter dark fantasy and grimdark, the genres where shadows are more than welcome, and heroes sometimes turn out to be not-so-heroic after all. So, let’s take a macabre…
