Hopepunk

Hopepunk is the idea that kindness, hope, and good will are radical acts in a world lacking in all of these things.

Hopepunk holds particular resonance to the youth of today because it touches upon how their lives "are precariously close to dystopic visions but who need to tell and hear stories of triumph in adversity, not defeat by cruelty", he added.

Doctor Who has always been hopepunk in spirit – it’s essentially a series about a non-violent crimefighter, after all – but its most recent series was its most hopepunk yet.

From Afrofuturism to hopepunk, many continue to draw on Butler's vision of a future where Blackness and Black people not only persist, but help bring worlds into being.
