  ...yeah, there is one small part ofthe fantasy genre I have an affinity for, and That's the fae. as they are not exclusive to medieval or "high" fantasy. 

  One story I have been working on is a fusion of cyberpunk and what lays "beyond the hedge" (a good portion of it takes place in England where old forces have been reawakening), essentially, a near future dark fairytale.

  Jus never got much into the whole knights in shining armour, saving damsels in distress, dragon slaying thing.

  List of Steampunk/Cyberpunk derivatives... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk_derivatives

  Apparently The Flintstones are "Stonepunk"... and Gilligan's Island was Islandpunk.

  And according to Bruce Sterling, we are living in the Nowpunk era...

  Yeah...
