    I disagree with your answer of what steampunk is or means. I thought it was how the world would of evolved had the Victorian era continued into the future. It's all Victorian steam, clothing, cogs and pipework but given a modern twist. As if the old engineers of the 19th century were designing the future. Hence steam ray guns, steam space ships and modern gadgets given a Victorian twist.

    Thanks for your reply First of this video isn't about what Steampunk is or isn't. It is about the people who form the community. As to your definition. It is a way to describe the aesthetics of Steampunk. But Steampunk consists of so much more than visuals. By defining at stated above, you ignore all the other expressions of Steampunk and it various sources of influence that can be found over the world.

    If you want our take on Steampunk aesthetics and the genre, follow our comic project on Kickstarter. , Journey to Elysium, with art by Yohan Alexander follow us on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bonsartbokel/journey-to-elysium It also has a community website www.associationofishtars.com with tons of free original content. Based on a number of remarks in the comments I decided to clarify some things here, even though I talk about these topics in later video's. This video is not on the topic of 'What is Steampunk?' As a preview of later video's, we describe Steampunk as three separate topics. 1. The Genre 2. The Visual design 3. The Subculture We believe this is a very important distinction to make when having any discussion on the topic of Steampunk. With that being said, please keep sending us your feedback and if you disagree or need elaboration, please clarify what part of the video you are referring to so we can improve our content.

    Well explained that problem in an earlier video, steampunk does not exist. But more video still to come.... But basicly, is is cyberpunk in the past. Or popculture in the past. But yes, anything can be steampunk. It is so deluded from were it started, Steampunk is a feeling at this point. It is a matter of context really. What Steampunk primarily look for is immersion. I wanted to touch more on this in the community of lifestyle video. Put I victorian in a victorian setting. It is historical drama. Put a 19th century individual in a Space Ship it is Steampunk. And make that last thing a bit believable. Putting two things together that original don't fit, and it might be Steampunk. Might be.

    Well, sadly, yes. When we see it we both know were they got the idea from. Like I stated before. To me, It is a source of inspiration. It gives people idea's how to do certain things. So Yes. We both know were the inspiration for the cog came from.... But that doesn't make it good art or Steampunk. But that is a whole different can of beans. All we can do is say, " please stop it."

    so.. are you saying...just because it has a cog it isn't steampunk... eg if i glue a cog to a washing up liquid bottle still full of liquid, then it 'shouldnt' be considered steampunk...because simply put... its a washing up liquid bottle...with a cog on it? though does that through into the cauldron the wearing of cogs as decoration, which is surely permitted as it adds to the whole unit?

    Pretty Good Vid! Well organized and Interesting / Informative - and Fun - Presentation. I had known a few Early “ Steampunkers “ in my day : take Leonardo, H.G.W., the “ Hundred Dollar Bill “ Guy, and of course “ Eraser Head - Pencil Machine, I liked. “. Capt Nemo gets an extra thumbs up., along with a Shout-Out to Terry Pratchett’s “ Going Postal “. Somehow though, I think too many Sci-Fi Books & Movies that Claim to be Steampunk fall into the same ole Franchises Of : “.... World Bow-Up / Destroy / Nuke / Flooded, etc..”, “. .. Parallel Universes.”, or “... Dr. A Loveless; Evil Villain ; inventively Using / upgrading any available Brass Plated , everyday crap laying around..... just Adding “ Steam “. Anyhow. Keep up the Good work! Will Subscribe ....for a while... to see if you can stand up next to Jerome Pourchier’s “ Janis 27 “ ! Darth Airborne Nobody 55’ NYC

    Paint will do a lot. Painting it red or gold can break the current look just fine. Beyond that you can take it as far as you want. I am not wearing it in this video but for this costume I have a Steampunk like Pipboy made by a friend of mine. You could make a case of any material, like EVA foam or leather. A google search will also help you a lot.

    So I might have a hot take on something The steampunk fandom is somewhat similar in essence to the furry fandom, bare with me here. So the first point is that most people think everyone is interested in the cosplay aspect of it while that isn't the case, as people can be interested in it without having to cosplay, yet they feel obligated a little bit to do so in order to not look like that one random person that just wanted to take a picture. Secondly, they had their origins a while ago, but it is only now that they're becoming mainstream. Third point, they're both not based directly on a specific thing (like star wars fandom, Steven universe Fandom, marvel Fandom, etc) but instead they're both based on a main concept from which their members build up from, in the steampunk fandom that concept being the 19XXs style but if they made modern day technology, and the furry fandom's base concept being animals that have human traits (anthropomorphic). Difference being that one of them is nowadays well known and respected by everyone and the other had a CSI episode where they got depicted as a sort of sex cult which drove it's reputation to the ground thanks to the little to no research and poor writing the creators of CSI made.

    I pretty much agree fandom... I think that both started in the 80's. As for furies reputation, the sex thing is based on more than just one CSI episode. The story might have based on what happened at events such as Furrest and some other trends that happened in the early years of the fandom. I think some organisations have attempted to purge such elements from the fandom since than, but it might hunt them for another decade or so.

  • @RadioRetrofuture

    The term steampunk was invented in the 80's as explained in the video. Where I believe the confusion comes from is that people often talk about Steampunk being this one thing. For me, the word was three meanings. 1. A retrofuturistic aesthetic heavily inspired by early science fiction and futurism 2. A genre of stories, I like to describe as Cyberpunk in the past. 3. A community of people with like-minded interests, including costuming, crafting, music and writing. More confusion stems from the fact people do not make a distinction between 'Steampunk' and the historical aesthetic movements, and fiction that inspired it. I explain these topics throughout the Beginners Guide series and my blog on www.associationofishtar.com
