Hello everyone! I’d like to ask you something. What kind of music can be associated with solarpunk? Do you have any ideas, reference bands, festivals, or scenes to follow?

Interesting question. In a solarpunk world I can imagine every type of music but if I have to find a genre with the vibe I'm thinking about indietronica.

Seconding !music@slrpnk.net but in general I'd associate folk and punk rock because of their protest roots.

I think what's now known as Utopian Scholastic has a particularly solarpunk-y vibe, IMO. You can hear an example here.

Mad Routine is incredibly climate conscious. They regularly upcycle thrifted finds and handmake the majority of their merch. They're also 100% indie, so they avoid these rich corpo labels that prop up industries that are ruining everything. Their fans also care deeply about climate responsibility and hold anti-corporate beliefs, so it's a fun group of people!

For me it's Bob Marley, of course.

We have a community for that: !music@slrpnk.net but I don't think there really is a specific music genre for Solarpunk.

Folk? Neofolk? Omnia? Faun?

Thinking Omnia's I Don't Speak Human.
