A genre of punk being created and taking place within 21st century America. The name is a portmanteau of "burger", alluding to the common association with modern America and it's world-renowned high brow delicacy, and "-punk", a suffix denoting a genre of media and literature all united under a dystopic future with anti-establishment themes. Much like other punks, and especially cyberpunk, it is a bone chilling examination of the dark future of 2024 where large corporations have taken over, politicians are bought and paid for, and the average citizen having to work days in and out for mere scraps. In reality, Burgerpunk is just the more grounded version of Cyberpunk. Instead of the endless sprawls of steel towers, there are strip malls, copy paste suburbs, and parking lots. Instead of synthetic implants, there is insulin and ozempic. And instead of cool X-runners who bounty hunt in the dark alleyways, you have open carrying land whales shooting eachother out in the open riding their valiant shopping scooter steeds. Burgerpunk acts as a warning for our future prodigy about the dangers of consuming high levels of deep fried calorie husks with high fructose corn syrup and letting capitalism go unchecked, extracting the planet and ourselves of every last value and dignity we have, so we may never stray in this dark future ruled by Ronald McDonald.
