I'd like to be a SteamWilf and be all Victorian but also simultaneously 'sci fi'.
In fact I'd like that so much that even though I am an adult, I dress up in that manner and run around pretending that it's real.

Luckily for me this is in no way indicative of really quite advanced mental illness and an inability to deal with reality.

Phew, eh readers?

Steampunk has been destroyed by hipster pricks.
It was socio-political commentary in sci-fi novels at one point, now its a fashion movement with little or no awareness of its origins.

It was always wank, now just more wankers are wanking.

(PsychoChomp, Thu 13 Dec 2012, 11:27, Reply)
Everything is wank to some degree or other
it's just wankness is increased or reduced by the number of absolute fucking pricks involved, so in that sense Winders is spot on.

(I helped save b3ta! CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 13 Dec 2012, 11:42, Reply)
From my limited understanding
steampunk is basically the Victorians' idea of what the future would be, based on their own technological knowledge.

We already think the 1950s sci-fi ideas are hideously outdated. Just imagine what our predictions of the future are going to look like in a hundred years.
(I helped save b3ta! b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 13 Dec 2012, 11:39, Reply)
Not really no.
It was, in its early days, a way of tackling current issues, by having an alternative timeline. The whole steam powered space ships and stuff, was because the early writers were well in to Jules Verne and his ilk.
