Ive never seen a genre (or sub-genre) take shape before, so maybe the sense of artificial, drummed-up appeal I get from the profusion of ‘Steampunk’ hype is just the way these things always begin. I tend to reject the notion that ‘Steampunk’ existed at all until fairly recently and that its so-called history is an artificial grouping created by a few like-minded authors keen on promoting themselves through a new genre.  In any case, regardless of its origins, Steampunk is here. Major motion pictures are being based on its parameters. CG sites are all over it.

 

 

 

Is anyone here a Steampunk fan? I find it hard to believe that there are people enthusiastic about this genre, but that doesn't mean there aren't. Are you? Why?
