Dieselpunk is a genre that reimagines the aesthetics and cultural atmosphere of the interwar period, particularly the 1920s to 1940s, with an emphasis on technology, industry, and war. The style often features an alternate history, where the technology of the era has evolved in unexpected ways. Notable visual features include an emphasis on streamlined Art Deco designs, gritty textures, and a blend of futuristic and retro elements. Dieselpunk often explores themes of war, politics, and social change.

Interesting fact: The video game BioShock is often cited as an example of Dieselpunk aesthetics.
