Hipsters fucking love the hurdy-gurdy

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Jules Verne and H.G. Wells were the first steampunks. Everyone else is a goddamn poser.

Negatory ghostrider. Well, Verne and Shelly heavily influenced steampunk but are not steampunk.

Ever read the vivification scene in Frankenstien?

I have. It's just that 19th and early 20st century science fiction should not be considered steampunk, as it is a modern genre that evokes imagery from the industrial revolution, and of the early science fiction of that period.

WTF?  That was the golden age of steam.

I am now going to stop, reconsider my position, and probably find some other way to make myself look retarded, instead of using bad arguments to support my position.

Your unwillingness to tenaciously, viciously defend an indefensible position at all costs, including that of your dignity and relationships with others on the forum, disappoints me.

Dok Howl is right...what IS happening to PD?!

Sorry.
I am too lazy to go dig up the reasoning behind my stance at this point in time.

I've always viewed steampunk as a setting with technology equivalent to late 19th century but devices that rivaled or surpassed modern ones. So, isn't 19th and early 20th century scifi is the very definition of steampunk?

There is no definitive answer, but I like to describe Steampunk as a modern fashion and sub-cultural movement that mimics the science fiction written in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. But you can take and apply that tech to ANY period as well. My friends are trying to get me to do a Steampunk Columbina, using a Renaissance fashion, but doing clockwork gears and machinery on it, like I'd be a windup doll of some sort. I also have a friend who does "Bamboopunk", basically Chinese from the same period, with the technological twist.

oh and dieselpunk and atompunk

Which are just mid-20th cen pulp.

Also.


I'm not though. That is just how I feel about most steampunks.

[Suu]

I love the 20s and 30s, but I won't "punk" them. I'm actually tickled that the fashions are coming back, it's going to make it easier for me to find proper fabrics and wave lotion. I think women could benefit from the resurgence of true smart fashion.

Also: I'm a goddamn industry professional. DNT.

We've really lost our collective grip, haven't we?

Remember the good old days, when we'd have a 100 page fight over nothing?

THAT'S IT.

Actually, it's true. I do...I just hate the fucking people that GO there. The Hipsters ruined a perfectly good coffee shop with their tight jeans, Narragansett tall boys and Americana rock.
