To make it clear what cottagepunk is: this aesthetic integrates rural/provincial living, autonomish industrial technologies: semi-handcrafted solar PVs, wind turbines, bathing, 3D printers and computers, and autonomish Internet technologies and organizations: cryptocurrencies, RSS feeds, BBS-like networks, startups and e-commerce. It is not simply a retrograde culture which is not sustainable and prosperous in modern world for obvious reasons. It is a blend of cottagecore basis with self-conscious selection and creation of new technologies. So this culture incorporates both DIY farming, craft, constructed languages and digital nomadism, alternate biology (occasional, with rat-human collapsed elites, pig-human collapsed simple consooomers, catbois, catgirls who evolve from humans by metamorphosis).
The cottagepunk has been created since 2023 when I moved to small town with my ThinkPad laptop and wrote programming tutorials on building distributed networking technology.
For brief example, these pictures are of cottagepunk aesthetic stemmed from the post-cyberpunk 2040s fiction.
