...or perhaps, the universe created it as soon as the term was written and it didn't exist before....

wow! It's a thing! Google says: "Fieselpunk" is a highly specific, localized variation of the dieselpunk genre, specifically coined and used by German game designer Markus Geiger to describe the aesthetic of his tactical tabletop board game, Dockfighters. Because "fiesel" translates roughly to "mean," "nasty," or "gritty" in German slang, the term essentially translates to "gritty dieselpunk." Core Characteristics of the "Fieselpunk" Style • WWII-Era Aerial Combat: The aesthetic focuses heavily on alternate-history 1940s aviation, featuring massive airships, experimental fighter planes, and sky-borne bases. • Grimy, Heavy Machinery: Unlike sleeker "decopunk" variants, fieselpunk emphasizes the greasy, soot-stained, and industrial reality of diesel-powered war machines. • Alternative History & Pulp Fiction: It blends real-world mid-century technology with speculative, over-the-top inventions like giant flying magnets and experimental weaponry.

when I was researching -punk and made a long list, it never even showed up. I think it's because it was a game designer rather than literature
