I don't know who, or how many people here are familiar with what has become to be known as Steampunk.
I mean LANCE was well versed in this art movement as far back as 2005 .

It seems to have gone in a multitude of directions since then.
It was initially people sick to death of bland cookie cutter products, [No Personality]
So DIY mods started to appear.
I just thought I'd give a few links to what has become quite a vibrant and diversified voice, art wise.
It was initially metal work, but has diversified into fabrics, poetry, writing, fashion etc.
Reason being that I intend to join them whole heartily.
It seems to me like a new rococo more than anything else.
A revolt against the bland a featureless products that we use day to day.
Also a general disenchantment with how people address , meet and conduct themselves now days.
The Victorian era civilities being the preferred mode of communication.
Visit this forum to get a gist of what this Steanpunk is about.

Total opposite to dumb mindless swearing rap [crap] "music'
