Dieselpunk is a Punk Punk genre of Speculative Fiction based on the 1920s-1940s period, spiced up with retro-futuristic innovations and occult elements. The Dieselpunk narrative is characterized by conflict vs the undefeatable (nature, society, cosmic powers), heavy use of technology, and Grey-and-Gray Morality. The protagonists are often Heroic Neutral and have low social status. Generally, Dieselpunk can take inspiration from 1920s German Expressionist films, Film Noir, 1930s Pulp Magazines and Radio Dramas, and 1940s Crime and wartime comics, period propaganda films and newsreels, wartime pinups, and other entertainment of the early 20th century. As this covers a broad spectrum, the precise sources of inspiration can vary greatly between dieselpunk works. Like Steampunk, Dieselpunk is a genre dictated primarily by its aesthetics rather than by its thematic content. Both grime and glamour have their place in dieselpunk. Vehicles may have exposed engines and customized exteriors. Dieselpunk overlaps with Two-Fisted Tales and Raygun Gothic, but differs mostly in its Punk Punk themes. Two-Fisted Tales explore settings such as Heroic Fantasy and Space Opera that are not properly a part of Dieselpunk, and Raygun Gothic tends to reference a period both chronologically and technologically more advanced or just shinier and more optimistic. Typically, Dieselpunk roots itself in urban and wartime settings of the 1920s to the late 1940s, both literally and figuratively "down to earth". If a Dieselpunk setting is presented as an Alternate History, a common point of divergence from our timeline is that The Great Depression never happened, leading to further economic and technological growth and less of the warmongering typical of the inter-war era. World War II may still happen in some Dieselpunk settings, though; see below. The term Dieselpunk was popularized by Lewis Pollak and Dan Ross in 2001 as the genre for their RPG Children of the Sun. Pollak stated that it was intended to be on the "darker, dirtier side of Steampunk" and should be considered a "continuum between steampunk and Cyberpunk." (On the other hand, noted reviewer Kenneth Hite described Children as "Not really diesel, and not really punk.") To be noted: unlike the 2000s, the Diesel-powered car in the 1930s was a rare curiosity, only a single model being put into small-scale production in Germany during that age (and almost exclusively used as a taxi), but on the other side the vast majority of the population could not afford cars back then. The life of an ordinary citizen was far deeper influenced by the oil-burning locomotive, bus, ocean liner or neighborhood power plant. Still, during this period steam engines were gradually being replaced by diesel engines in many areas. Dieselpunk Variations General Vastness is key. This was the age of the Zeppelin, the dreadnought battleship and the ocean liner, the flying-boat airliner, of clockwork wonders and the skyscraper. It also saw the first multinational corporations (in the modern sense), large-scale social engineering, and mass political movements. World War I was still fresh in memory as the Great War, the most colossal conflict in the history of mankind. Man is dwarfed by his creations and things are subsumed into abstractions. Period technology encompasses everything found in Steampunk, but internal combustion and electric power in combination with new materials (better alloys, plastics, etc) makes machinery lighter, stronger, and more versatile. The airliner is the prime example of this, but cars, trucks, tractors, and diesel-powered electrical generators are even more important in reshaping the world. Armored vehicles and usable submarines are less common but still important innovations. Wireless radio leads to the rise of broadcasting as an information medium. Anachronistic super-advanced technology, often of the Awesome, but Impractical variety, such as Giant Flyer, Spider Tank, Disintegrator Ray might occur. Such technology might be secret super weapons of a villain, or Homemade Inventions by the hero or his friends. Although the Dieselpunk aesthetic can overlap with Raygun Gothic, and though Dieselpunk is known for featuring Tesla technology and Wunderwaffen-style super-weapons, Dieselpunk typically does not include transistor-based technology, other electronics or atomic power. In fact, another Punk Punk genre label, Atompunk, was coined to describe fiction in this mode. Atompunk (such as the Fallout series and the comic book Fear Agent) takes inspiration from 1950s-era aesthetics and fashions such as Googie architecture and Jetsons-style technology, which typically lie outside the bounds of Dieselpunk. The analogue sci-fi of Metropolis and Things to Come are closer to the Dieselpunk tradition as it stands. Dieselpunk often focuses upon air travel and combat, including such ideas as literal "flying fortresses", air pirates, dirigibles, early UFOs, hotshot flyboy pilots, etc. Fascination with military hardware, weaponry and uniforms of the early 20th century is also often in evidence and a great amount of Dieselpunk media is concerned with war, especially the Second World War and fictional variations thereof. Owing to its pulp roots, Dieselpunk is often very adventure-based, full of exotic locales such as Mysterious Antarctica, The Shangri-La, the Hollow Earth, etc. Some Geographic Flexibility is to be expected. Dieselpunk fiction can encompass the supernatural as well. In dieselpunk adventure, occult practices are Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, and maybe Magicians Are Wizards. The works of H. P. Lovecraft, tales of Nazi occult research, contemporary expeditions to 'mystical' places such as Egypt, and early research into relativity and quantum physics have greatly contributed to the occult mystique that informs Dieselpunk. This tends to contrast with the 19th-century Gothic themes and spiritualism that show up in Steampunk. As Dieselpunk is a post-modern look at the past, it is not limited to the tropes and stereotypes that characterized fiction of the day — instead, it can use these tropes to comment upon the past and reinvent it. Dieselpunk (along with steampunk) can encompass a range of authorial voices and themes. Female characters in Dieselpunk tend to be strong, encompassing flappers to pin-up girls and much more, and can include Rosie the Riveter-type action heroines, glamourous femmes fatales, costumed crusaders, archaeologist badasses, dragon ladies, tough-talking reporters and other types common to pulp fiction of the era. Both male and female characters are typically Badass Normals with universal drivers' licenses. Sub-genres are listed below as possible avenues of exploration, but as these categorizations may only describe one or two works, if any, they should be taken with a grain of salt. Diesel Deco/Deco Punk Also called "Ottensian" Dieselpunk after Nick Ottens, some guy on the Internet, who postulated it. This is the most optimistic form of dieselpunk. Progress seems unstoppable and the future is bright. Things are designed to be stylish and opulent, ornamental and efficient at the same time. Think Bauhaus architecture and design, Art Deco, Expressionism, the 1939 New York World Fair. A good setting for a Science Hero. Diesel Noir and Dark Deco Similar to Diesel Deco, but generally Darker and Edgier. Emphasizes the downside of economic and technological progress. Society is plagued by crime and corruption, technology seems to be at its most effective in producing increasingly effective weaponry. The occult basically amounts to Black Magic (including exotic religions), Sealed Evil in a Can might turn up in an archeological dig and subsequently have to be stopped to avoid The End of the World as We Know It. Diesel Weird War World War II is being waged (or World War I in some instances), but one or both sides are introducing superweapons, alien technology and/or occult forces into the mix, often with one or more Mad Scientists behind it all. For a less extreme variant, something like the real-life exploits of the nascent Special Air Service in collaboration with the Long Range Desert Group (briefly, Lawrence of Arabia upgraded with blast-incendiary explosives and "gunship jeeps"). (See Weird Historical War.) Diesel Dystopia Also called "Piecraftian" Diesel Punk, again named for some guy on the Internet. World War II did start and may still be in progress; if it isn't, either some kind of Cold War is being waged, or a One World Order has been established. Either way, The Government is intrusive and ruthless, ostensibly to protect the citizens. The political ideology might be any kind of totalitarianism, either one of the many real life examples of the period, a mashup of those, or a completely fictional analogue. Diesel Desolation World War II did start and ended because there isn't anything left to fight over, and very few resources left to fight with, or even to sustain civilization. It's essentially a post-apocalyptic milieu, and certainly not a very common dieselpunk flavor. Check here for tips on writing your own dieselpunk story. See also the article How dieselpunk Works. |

Victoria: A Novel of 4th Generation War gradually develops into a Retro Universe based on this. By the end of the story, the Victorian state uses little "real" technology invented after the 1930s, but has still developed cold fusion, Tesla-tech and various other kinds of Super Science. They also make extensive use of zeppelins, politics and culture have a strong pre-World War II touch (including Nazis), and people dress in 1930s to 1950s fashion. | |

While the original book version of His Dark Materials is generally regarded as describing its heroine Lyra’s world as Gaslamp Fantasy in style, the BBC/HBO adaptation goes for a lot of Art Deco imagery (appropriately enough given all the passenger airships, which belong more in the 1930s than the Victorian age), creating something of a Dieselpunk feel overall. | |

The Shape of Things to Come: It might be unsurprising that the foundational sci-fi author H.G. Wells would have been ahead of the curve on an Unbuilt Trope version of Diesel-Punk, as he was on many other science fiction tropes: in this 1933 projection of the future of a world thrown into an apocalypse by a lengthy world war, one can find many of the Unbuilt tropes of many sci-fi subgenres, in a setting that today looks prescient of Diesel-Punk, and was (along with the 1936 film adaptation) doubtless heavily influential over the subgenre. | |

Gadget: Past as Future is a 1998 point-and-click adventure game set in an Art-Deco styled nation only known as "The Empire" where bits of meteorite that fell to the Earth containing an unknown substance (called xenium in the art book) became the country's primary fuel source to power not only some of the trains, but also many of the titular gadgets seen throughout such as the Sensorama, which was originally intended by the Empire's dictator to be a brainwashing device, and the Ark, an excavating drill that can transform into a plane. Players take on the role of a government agent hired to investigate a group of scientists who claim that a planet-destroying comet is rapidly approaching. | |

Parodied in the Metal Slug series, which (although ostensibly taking place 20 Minutes into the Future) are set in a bizarre version of WWII(with some Korean/Vietnam-era trimmings), where propeller-powered planes, railway guns, and zeppelins coexist with Humongous Mecha, Land Battleships (literally a Yamato-class battleship with tank treads bolted on), Zeerust aliens, and Wave Motion Guns. In the seventh entry, the villains are a time-traveling army from the future . . . still driving the same WWII-era vehicles, except now they're painted blue and shoot laser beams. Same thing applies for the 2021 remake, Metal Slug Code J. |

Iron Storm (2002) is set in 1964, in an Alternate History setting where World War I never ended. You'll see televisions and helicopters, while fighting in trenches and mud. Also, the weaponry is fictional but credible for alternate technology from the 1950-1960s. | |

Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic is thoroughly suffused with Art Deco, from the design of the starliner itself to its robot staff. Better still, it actually uses Dieselpunk motifs such as pneumatic tubes. | |

Factorio, an addictive factory-builder, uses a decidedly diesel punk aesthetic, which fits in quite nicely with all the pollution produced by many a factory players end up building. Among the non-period things rendered in the aesthetic include nuclear reactors, laser turrets and the rocket you launch to win the game. | |

The Confederates are quite proud of their 'walker' which runs on diesel as opposed to the Steampunk Union verions.

Silent Storm (2003) starts as a relatively realistic game focussed on managing a commando team during World War II (there are an Axis and an Allies campaign), then it switches to a plot involving a Thor Hammer Organisation (THO), Nebulous Evil Organization supplying both sides with Energy Weapons and Powered Armors, in order to weaken them enough to be able to Take Over the World by themselves. Its first sequel, the expansion pack Silent Storm: Sentinels, is set not long after the end of the war and features the eponymous Sentinels as a secret multinational (party members from both sides of the previous game are available) organisation struggling against THO, while the high technology is still there. | |

Nazi Zombies had ended its Call of Duty: Black Ops II DLC line with Origins, a very much dieselpunk World War I setting. Giant Mechas, diesel-powered armor, perk drinks, tanks, and weaponry. All of this makes the return of the original crew from earlier games so much more awesome. And of course, the main appeal, the antagonists. | |

Fallout — Usually classified as atompunk, but takes place in a retrograde enough world to qualify (a world with atomic power but without the transistornote Effectively, at least. Transistors were invented, but only a couple of years before the atomic war, so the overwhelming majority of electronics uses vacuum tubes). It's actually deconstructed in that the inefficient technology ended up depleting resources faster, thus causing the conflicts that lead to The Great War.

The BioShock series take place in a very distinctly Bio-dieselpunk world, complete with analogue vacuum-tube computers/robots and a jaw-dropping Art Deco setting. It does not entirely fit any of the types above, as it is set in an abandoned (well, by anything we could reasonably call inhabitants) Underwater City and we do not know how different the surface world is. However, the setting does apply. Often erroneously referred to as steampunk, possibly because the hacking minigame in the first game involves flowing water, leading to some people to think they're powered by steam.

Things to Come - an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The Shape of Things to Come - could perhaps be called the Trope Codifier. It is a series of vignettes involving an apocalyptic never-ending world war fought with super-weapons, germ warfare that results in zombie-like infected pursuing survivors through desolate city ruins, a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by feudal warlords in the rags of WWI uniforms, a secret cabal of scientists in giant aircraft who seek to rebuild the world through the miracles of Diesel-Punk super-science (similiar to the Benevolent Alien Invasion plots that would follow in the '50s), a Crystal Spires and Togas utopian future forged from diesel-and-electrical-powered industrial might (weirdly taking on most of the trappings of an Orwellian Dystopia played straight, such as an elitist ruling class and giant public view-screens for a "Big Brother" style leader to give thundering filibusters on), and a metropolis threatened by megalomaniacs driven by fears of whatever awaits mankind's first trip into space, and defended by caped Proto-Superhero Science Hero types. Most of these ideas would develop separately on their own before coming back together in various combinations as different flavors of modern Diesel-Punk. | |

The Dishonored series: Dishonored (2012) has the rare In-Universe material Justifying the setting, a specially treated and processed "whale" oil known as trans. The substance itself would be identical to diesel if it wasn't luminous blue or incredibly volatile. Dishonored 2 continues with even more pseudo-magic clockwork machinery. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider has an occult-driven Cyborg as a protagonist. |

The planet Saraksh in Prisoners of Power (1969), one of the Noon Universe novels of the Strugatsky Brothers. There are several dieselpunk Human Aliens civilizations in the series. Practically all of them are attempts at subtly criticising the state of Soviet society and the military during the Cold War era. One particularly disturbing case was the ironically-codenamed planet "Hope", which suffered from a severely polluted environment for years and was struck one day by a mysterious Depopulation Bomb. It's been a Ruins of the Modern Age Scavenger World ever since. | |

The King in Yellow: A collection of loosely-connected early cosmic horror stories written in the 1890s, which projects "20 Minutes Into the Future" a weirdly dystopian world under Pax-Americana following an alternate-future world war, with a seemingly shining future corrupted instead by the unearthly influence of a mysterious, mind-shattering alien play, "The King in Yellow", with most of the stories in one way or another describing the impact of the play on doomed, mad, and despairing characters who succombed to the irresistable temptation to look upon its forbidden pages. The setting comes across today like Lovecraftian alt-history set in a strange sort of Diesel-Punk world of gigantic floating battleship-fortresses, friendly neighborhood suicide-booths for final relief of all the world's remaining ills, and an uneasy contrast between the shining light of utopian progress, and the secret influence of a foul, shadowy, otherworldly corruption just beneath the surface. | |

Titus adapts the play Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare to a surreal Alternate History where Rome survives to the present day that seems at times like a dieselpunk version of Fascist Italy. | |

In Warhammer 40,000 (1987), thanks to its Schizo Tech setting, the machines and equipment of the Imperial forces can have a very dieselpunky feel to them. For example, the Imperial Guard Leman Russ battle tank and the Imperial Navy Lightning◊ fighter. The Orks' vehicles are a mix of this and a scrappy post-apocalyptic style. In particular, their aircraft tend to be scrap-encrusted pastiches of real-world designs from the 1940s and 1950s. |

Call of Duty: Zombies (2008, 2010) has some elements of World War II dieselpunk, namely the Wunderwaffen and Teleporters developed by the Nazis. The zombies level featured in the 4th DLC of Call of Duty: Black Ops II takes this theme to a whole new level with a World War I setting featuring giant robots, wireless transmission of electricity, and a special zombie-operating Powered Armor that actually runs off of a diesel backpack. Call of Duty: Black Ops III returns zombies with a distinctly Film Noir-inspired yet patently dieselpunk setting. |

Tales of Xillia: The world of Elympios that you visit fairly late in the first game and where much of the sequel takes place is a decaying land where the dingy cities are full of skyscrapers, and the background music is heavy on jazzy saxophones. Its largest city (and only city in the first game), Trigleph, looks like it was pulled straight out of a Film Noir hard-boiled detective movie. | |

Archer Dreamland, the eighth season of Archer, takes the super-spies cum drug lords cum detectives back to 1940s Los Angeles. But even more dieselpunkish than Archer: Dreamland is the parent series' next season, Archer Danger Island, a pulp adventure that winds back the clock some more to the late 1930s (this is all a coma dream in the real Archer's head), set mostly on a French-colonial Polynesian Pacific island. |

Marvel Noir: Iron Man Noir (2010), featuring Tony Stark's "repulsor pump" pacemaker, the Iron Man armor itself, and Baron Stucker's lightning-hurling Power Fist — not to mention background stuff like the sleek super zeppelins. It's unique among the Noir stories for not even trying to be realistic. X-Men Noir is the least fantastic of the Marvel Noir settings, but introduces one dieselpunk element in the story Mark of Cain, the Office of National Emergency's Dirigi-Carrier. |

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, set in an alternate 1939, straddles a midpoint between this and Raygun Gothic. The zeppelin, Joe's plane, the flying airstrip and the amphibious aeroplanes look relatively banged-up and industrial, while Totenkopf's robots, hologram and rocketship are streamlined and Art Deco. | |

The Legend of Korra (2012-2014), a sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender, is a Far East Science Fantasy, Urban Fantasy variant of this, complete with power plants being staffed by people with lighting powers. It's particularly apparent in Republic City, a Culture Chop Suey of various 1920s-era metropolises with the Asian aesthetics accentuated. The soundtrack has been described as "1920s New Orleans jazz but if it were invented in China". And just like that, it takes more books until the punk's theme and aesthetics eventually appears through most of Book 3 until with Book 4 finally become thing in the universe both technologically and politically with dieselpunk-style giant Mecha that avatar crew face with. |

Arguably, Atlas Shrugged (1957) which seems to be taking place in an Alternate Universe 1940s where WWII never happened, most of the world went Communist, and someone invented, then destroyed, a futuristic power generator that converts atmospheric static electricity into direct current. The setting qualifies, but the theme is D'Punk inside out, with typical protagonist/antagonist roles reversed. | |

Porco Rosso (1992) takes place in a fictionalized Mediterranean setting between WWI and WWII. Besides (possibly) fictional use of air pirates and the magical realist-style presentation of Porco's being a pig, Porco Rosso incorporates historically accurate cues that indicate Italy is about to come under Benito Mussolini's leadership. | |

Some of the other WWII books edge into this with stuff like the Maus and other weapons and vehicles that never got produced or mass produced. | |

The retro-cult Taerkastens from Urban Assault, are a 26th century version of this. Since the Taerkastens eschew electronics and related tech, they use propeller powered war planes and giant zeppelins when the other factions are using more standard futuristic units. But what they lack in the electronics department, they more than make up for by being on the leading edge of engineering and material design. The Taerkastens have the most heavily armored units in the game. | |

The Mercury Men, a series set in the 1970's but with a distinctly diesel noir style, about an office clerk facing a small-scale alien invasion with the aid of a daring Science Hero | |

Black Cat (2005-2006) has modern technology pop up, but the setting overall has a very Diesel Punk aesthetic and feel to it. | |

Though Leviathan (2009) by Scott Westerfeld is definitely in the Steampunk genre by how it's presented and what kind of story it is, the Clanker technology is more dieselpunk, as they frequently use gas, oil, kerosene, and diesel, not just steam. Also, the Darwist's "beasties" are a good example of Bio Punk. | |
