SteamGoth

I'm sure I don't need to explain to the readers here what Steampunk is, But I thought you may like a look at this video made for the BBC News America. I think Steampunk is the perfect mixture of my Gothic personality with my love of things Victorian and Post Industrial.

While I'm on the subject of Steampunk / Steamgoth, here are a few more videos.






A bit of enjoyable music.

City of Ember

Steampunk is gaining a resurgence in popular culture and especially films. Wikipedia defines Steam Punk as a sub-genre of Fantasy and speculative fiction set in an era or world were steam power is in common use, the term was coined in opposition to the emerging use of cyberpunk in the 1980's. The City of Ember is a 2003 novel by Jeanne DuPrau, revolving around the underground city of Ember, the one known surviving settlement and "the only light in the dark world" that's slowly dying as supplies run low and the electrical system starts to fail. This book is now being turned into a Walden movie and the setting is perfectly Steam Punk, watch the trailer and when you go see the film I encourage you to dress in you Steam Punk best. Premier is set for Oct 10, 2008.

Abney Park's Finn

MTV has posted an article on their site about Steampunk and its place in mainstream culture. We'd love you to have a look and pop back here to discus the article and the culture.

It was nice to see the comparisons of Steampunk and Goth Fashions. Where goth fashion is full of black Steampunk consists of browns and earth tones.
