[[Image:Lovepeace.png|thumb|right|It's totally the opposite of this.]][[Image:Inspector Grimgadget.jpg|thumb|right|Inspector Gadget, reimagined with a grimdark feel.]]'''Grimdark''' is an adjective derived from the tagline for [[Warhammer 40k]], which states that "In the '''grim darkness''' of the far future, there is only war." It is generally used to describe a setting which it would really, REALLY suck to actually live in, exemplified by Warhammer 40k itself. It can also be used to describe artwork that has a grimdark feel, even if the setting itself would not normally be considered grim and dark.


Common grimdark themes include:
*Cybernetics and cyborgs
*Mutants, especially the persecution thereof
*Never-ending warfare
*Short life expectancies
*Spanish Inquisition clones
*There are no good guys, and everyone's a jerk, especially you
*Horrifyingly large death tolls are the norm for everything
*High potential for offensive comedy
*No ice cream
*Never sunny
*[[Paranoia|Big Brother is watching you]]
*[[Commissar|*BLAM*]]
*Galaxy full of rascist
