lol yeah something like that. When I ask for things in an 80s American punk style, it doesn’t really know what to do. To be fair, neither did film and tv back then.
Wonderful resource thank you ,Dan! Upgraded a little😉Nightcafe finds it difficult with some concepts .."knolling" and "Nychos" seemed completely unknown.Love reading science fiction so will enjoy trying out the "punks".
Which model are you using in Nightcafe? They tend to offer Stable Diffusion XL and Stable Diffusion spinoffs, but they also have DALL-E 3 available I believe. It's fun to explore how different models respond to different prompts based on their training data, etc.
Dall-E costs me four credits instead of one and if no style or artist requested tend to produce similar ,filmy images no matter the subject!The model is Dream diffusion?I'm totally ignorant about the niceties of image generation but at 76,and totally incompetent artistically I'm loving seeing my imagination reproduced in coherent images.I'm loving Nightcafe because they have topic challenges and chances to win credits.I have reached the heady heights of "Top 5%"twice on the Daily Challenge..winning 25 credits.I've been told off about my judging harshly..I'm tired of fairies,dragons and big-eyed cuties and ,as a life-long avid reader,like images that tell stories.Not necessarily a popular attitude if I want to win!Already made three beautiful images with the layered paper prompt..dieselpunk and mythpunk totally unknown!Sorry I've gone on....
Yeah it's strange that DALL-E 3 burns through credits so quickly on NightCafe, especially considering that you can use it for free with Microsoft Copilot/Bing (https://copilot.microsoft.com/images/create)
Way to go on those Daily Challenges - and hey, that's the beauty of text-to-image models: They give an outlet to your imagination and creativity even if you're not an artist (the same goes for me). Thrilled to hear you're getting some nice images out of the prompts already!
Really cool vibes, and some of these -punks I didn't even know. Then I thought, hey, why not come up with totally new ones and see what those lead to. Can't share images here, but go play around with:
Lunarpunk. Solarpunk's nocturnal complement.
Krautpunk. A bit like Dieselpunk for the WWI/II aesthetic, I guess, but more German.
Biopunk. Somehow mechanical looking but with some "organic" elements.
Coffeepunk. That one didn't lead to any consistent aesthetics...
Lunarpunk and Biopunk were on my list, but I decided against Lunarpunk because, as you said, it was a companion of Solarpunk which I already included. And Biopunk I skipped because it's considered a subgenre of Cyberpunk (which I covered last time).
I like the theory behind "atompunk" (new term for me), but I really like the visuals of the dieselpunk stuff.
I'm not really sure what to make of dreampunk, other than to tip my hat at the clever name for something apparently unrelated to all other punk genres.
Agreed. I always enjoyed the original Bioshock games, which at the time I didn't realize fell into the dieselpunk aesthetic. Cool vibes!
I also never heard of "dream punk" before...or about most of the dozens of -punk suffixes on that list I linked to. But these five are varied enough to tease interesting results out of Midjourney.
Always love the creativity and just pure fun in these posts. This one particularly resonates because I lived right off The Kings Road in London at the sort of tail end of the Punk era there.
Interestingly, it doesn’t handle just “punk” as a description and gets very confused.
Yeah I imagine if you ask for a "cat, punk" you'll get a punk cat strumming the guitar or screaming into the mic or something!

That reminds me, it doesn’t do well with the prompt “boomer punk” either. 🤣

Happy to hear you find it useful, Patricia!
And I really appreciate you upgrading. This also means you'll be able to access all my Sunday Showdowns: https://www.whytryai.com/t/sunday-showdown - enjoy!

Yeah I've considered a bunch from the big list I've shared (https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Punk_Suffix) - there are almost 50 punks there. It's nuts!
Lunarpunk and Biopunk were on my list, but I decided against Lunarpunk because, as you said, it was a companion of Solarpunk which I already included. And Biopunk I skipped because it's considered a subgenre of Cyberpunk (which I covered last time).
Gonna give Krautpunk a spin!

That's what I like about you: you're results-driven. That's a straight shooter with upper management potential!
That role sounds as anti-punk as they come!
The corporate version is called schemepunk.

Sweet, I can't say I have the same personal connection to "the punks," but I certainly love how diverse the results you get with them are!
