    Not sure if I know an embracing term, but I'd call it '1950's futurism'. And could be wrong in doing so. Regards, Richard.

    ...seems more reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis which was influenced by art deco and futurism movements of the early 20th century.

    I also consider it Art Noveau 20s Modernism of the Fritz Lang Metropolis type. It's great! You saw the same style on automobile hood ornaments and such for a while.

    Decopunk, basically...  which is a close cousin to Diesilpunk, since there is some overlap between the two, and they both cover more or less the same time period, usually a futuristicified 1930s/1940s, but Decopunk has a different focus than Diesilpunk.  Diesilpunk is this 1930s/1940s period-look, but with more of an emphasis on WW II sorts of imagery, tech-design, and scope.  Decopunk is a 1930s/1940s period-look, but with more of an Art Deco bent, perhaps shinier, and often in a world where the 1929 stock market crash and the events of WW II never happened.  I consider Fritz Lang's Metropolis to be proto-Decopunk.

    I'm with you on that. I thought immediately of Metropolis.
