What happened to Steampunk??
| I mean I like Cyberpunk but still.
| It is quietly there, sometimes more prominent than cyberpunk. It needs not evolve, people know what to expect: victorian dress code, gears, pipes, leather, lenses, and you are there. Doesnt have the risk of mistaken for something else, like cybp and normal scifi. Its lack ov evolution space gives it way to ridiculous detail if one wishes and can produce impressive art. I have seen a couple of steampunk themed bars, impressive. It is less aplicable in everyday life but more classy.
| it's a shit aesthetic for fucking weirdos with no sense of shame. people who would be furries in another life. get your goggles and top hat out of my anime conventions you fucks.
| Complaining about weirdos at anime conventions is like complaining about ants in an anthill
| It went from steampunk to "glue gears on it"
| Hah. I thoroughly enjoy cyberpunk.
| While I do like the aesthetic to an extent, it's a little too samey for me (as >>70735 said, no evolution)
I think some of it also looks a little too ridiculous
| A very definitive aesthetic that is more Victorian but rust-embelllished and a Hallmark of the inception of technology blending with tradition.
| if you like stampunk, check out leviathan from scott westerfeld, it has beautiful illustrations
| Jules Verne and his works shine so bright in this genere.
| Dieselpunk %100 better
| Steampunk is quite regressive in technology, and there's no reason for society to use steam instead of nuclear, solar, or wind.
| steampunk is for loser cucks
| Steampunk is shit.
| Steampunk is way more common and known to these casual normies than cyberpunk. It's infuriating.
