What do you call this genre? Not steampunk...

So if steampunk is Victorian era sci-fi, what is 1940's sci-fi called? Does this genre have a name?

Meh, that's a little too generic. I know that sci-fi actually wrote in the 40s is the Golden Age, but I don't think that fits for sci-fi written today about that era.

Maybe Golden Age Revival?
