Welcome to Pandora, kiddos!
On that note, I'd like to mention another, alternative, really more along the lines of 'sub-culture' punk, which I call: JunkPunk.
JunkPunk is similar in regards to aPUNKalypse, Weird West, or Space Western (Browncoats!), or Desert Punk. In the idea of JunkPunk, it is usually a lack of resources that causes the 'signature look'. Good examples of this that come to mind are the Borderlands series and the Fallout series. In many, many instances, even in the 'nice' areas, there are recycled and re-purposed materials everywhere, from the chairs in an office being made out of old ejector seats to the oven in your house being made out of the trunk of a car. When you play the game of Junk, you recycle or you die.
Very neatly related to JunkPunk is one that I have seen even less often, but with a hugely imaginative and elaborate example. I am referring to something I call RatPunk. The only thing I have to reference is the movie Flushed Away, but all of the examples therein are pure gold. (Plus, y'know, Hugh Jackman. Fer reasons.)
As I mention, RatPunk is rather similar to JunkPunk, but on a totally different scale and means. In RatPunk, everything is re-purposed from another/higher culture. A playing card becomes a table, candy wrappers become church windows, the battery-powered motor from an RC car becomes the ultimate weapon of destruction. It helps to have characters that are very very small in RatPunk, but it is not necessary to do so.
My name is Jay, and it's been my pleasure to be your fool.

I'll be sure to add these! Keep these punk ideas coming, people!
All right, I've added them. Do you want them listed as individual punks, or as things that can be used to modify other types of punk? If you have no clue, that's fine.
