Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures that have developed from the aesthetics of steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, art nouveau design, and films from the mid-20th century. ![]() The first known appearance of the term steampunk was in 1987, though it now retroactively refers to many works of fiction created as far back as the 1950s or earlier A popular subgenre is Japanese steampunk, consisting of steampunk-themed manga and anime, with steampunk elements having appeared in mainstream manga since the 1940s. As a form of speculative fiction, it explores alternative futures or pasts but can also address real-world social issues. Steampunk may also incorporate additional elements from the genres of fantasy, horror, historical fiction, alternate history, or other branches of speculative fiction, making it often a hybrid genre. Other examples of steampunk contain alternative-history-style presentations of such technology as steam cannons, lighter-than-air airships, analog computers, or such digital mechanical computers as Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Such technologies may include fictional machines like those found in the works of H. Steampunk features anachronistic technologies or retrofuturistic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them - distinguishing it from Neo-Victorianism - and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the Victorian era or the American "Wild West", where steam power remains in mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates retrofuturistic technology and aesthetics inspired by, but not limited to, 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. ![]() If this show manages to make a 2nd season, lets hope they can bounce back, learn from their mistakes and correct their selection process and choose fun, supportive, creative contestants.just like Gordon Ramsay did to correct his new seasons of kid chefs.Science fiction genre inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery Original illustration of Jules Verne's Nautilus engine room "Maison tournante aérienne" (aerial rotating house) by Albert Robida for his book Le Vingtième Siècle, a 19th-century conception of life in the 20th century Pretty much ruining any cool camaraderie that holds the steampunk community together. Each with ego's the size of Uranus, self centered, bitchy, arrogant etc. You can compare this failure to Gordon Ramsay's show about kid chefs.he picked kids that were so coached and brain washed by their parents ambitions that all the kids he had on his show competing were "spoiled brat monsters", talented yes but such brats and so self centered that the show was revolting.(Ramsay later corrected this and later seasons chose kids of better substance making the show a pleasure to watch the kids have fun and compete.) So just imagine the same kind of kids now as adults and competing in "Steampunk'd". ![]() Where the show failed is picking contestants that have ego's larger than planet Uranus. Shame on whoever picked the contestants and the producer and director that allowed them to act childish, self centered and all in all contribute to keeping the steampunk community fractured. For all the steampunk fans out there.this show is a must see. ![]()
