A variant strain of science fiction where lovable technophile monks are the heroes of misadventures unfolding in a post-apocalyptic era. These wacky abbots and friars play crucial roles in preserving scientific and philosophical knowledge, even though it gets warped and twisted through the filter of religious superstition, often to ridiculous extremes. Bonus points for radioactive mutants, deformities, plague, witch burnings, alien visitations, nuclear fallout. Like other -punk genres, this one has nothing to do with punk rock, except maybe if you count the mutants.
Contrast with cyberpunk and steampunk, two related sci-fi "punk" sub-genres.

Walter Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz and Neal Stephenson's Anathem are the twin towers of Monk Punk, a sci-fi genre which might as well include The Name of the Rose, since Europe's Dark Ages were pretty much a post-apocalyptic nightmare of their own.

Get the monk punkmug. Gay adolescent or young man that cruise malls looking to get laid or turn tricks and make some cash off of a mall troll.
Eric has turned into such a mall punk. I've seen him leave with at least a dozen mall trolls and he's always got cash now.

Get the mall punkmug. Someone who listens to and/or plays in nazi punk bands and is usually involved in the neo-nazi movement. The music sounds the same but the lyrics show their bigotry and overall fascist message.

Get the nazi punkmug. the bitch in a prison. they are usually in jail for tax evasion or molesting their children. these are the guys who cry on their first night and try to avoid the scary black men who stare at them and have the bottom of their shirts tied in a knot. jail punks get pounded in the anus quite often in the shower and in their cell. they usually get protection from the black guy they share their cell with, even though that is the same guy plowing them every night.

Get the jail punkmug. When a person sleeps outside in a public place because they either got kicked out of their home or they don't feel like going home (And sometimes they just feel like it). Mostly occurs among teenagers in suburban areas. Many kids street punk it in groups at places like elementary school playgrounds and behind grocery stores or shopping malls.

Get the street punking itmug. A (usually adolescent) person who listens to several undeground genres (crust punk/ d-beat/ Thrash Black/Street Punk...) Is poor. Is messy, fucked-up and usually starts smoking cheap cigarettes and drinking alcohol at a young age. Hangs out with a small group of individuals who are usually in the same bands, and would go as far as killing a poser if they enter the territory. they usually have one alley they chill at and are part of a tight underground scene.
Boy: "Dad, can I hang out with those cool punk kids?"
Dad: "No! Those alley punks would beat you up if you go in their alley!"
