Flintpunk: Spread the Meme

[pfarley]

Now that Steampunk is passe, I'm looking to get the jump on the next retro-slipstream novelty: FLINTPUNK. But before I develop any new creative properties, it's only right to look back and give a shout-out to those early pioneers:

Ika, without the shadow of a doubt.

My vote's for Ayla.

Ika.

A certain degree of grubbiness is to flintpunk what brass is to steampunk.

Ayla is therefore a damn poseur.

I don't know who Ika is, but my natural inclination is there.
Daryl Hannah's Kiss make up just doesn't do it.

Ika is from "Quest for Fire," played by the immortal Rae Dawn Chong.

Aaah, never did see that, forgot about it.
Maybe it's time to rent it..

One of my favorites movies. And easily the best caveman movie ever made.

I was always more of a Punk-punk person, myself.

Of course, eventually that'll be passé, but wait long enough and it'll be rediscovered in the nostalgia craze known as Punkpunk-punk.

This meme goes on forever.

Somewhere online there must be a detailed etymology of the word "cyberpunk" but I'm too lazy to google it right now.
