What are the different branches of futurism?

As the title says, what are all of the different futurisms, or like imaginings of the future?

So far in my sphere, i know of a few: solarpunk, cyberpunk, retrofuturism, and transhumanism.

  • solarpunk: green new decolonialized future where we use technology, natural systems, and cultual wisdom to live sustainably and in harmony with the Earth and others

  • cyberpunk: dystopia where technology is capable of many things, but is used in all the wrong ways. Megacorps control everything, and tech is ubiquitous

  • transhumanism: future where humans can overcome their linitations through technology, and we also delve into deeper questions of how technology and its use affects people

  • retrofuturism (i'm probably thinking more of atompunk, help me here???): Star Trek-esque, optimistic, 1900s view of the future with the typical flying cars, space hotels, and luxury comforts in a utopic setting

Can you guys think of any others? And if i'm wrong, please do correct me
