Wtf is "atompunk" and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don't see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.
Atompunk is the dark version of 50's era astro-futurism, like in the Fallout games.
The "punk" moniker suffixed onto genres generally implies tones and/or themes one would associate with the punk movement, e.g. anger at a corrupt system, anti-authoritarianism, anarchist ideals, etc.
I'll agree the usage is oversaturated, though, and is sometimes only used to convey "dystopian"
Atompunk is like a specific esthetic. Imagine cold war era, but with the what they thought looked futuristic made real. Think themes around nuclear annihilation, global espionage, alternate-history and retrofuturism.
If you know the Fallout videogames, like that.
