    the concept of aesthetic in general is a problem and the obsession people have with image is a problem.

      what i'm trying to say is clothes are moronic. don't spend a lot of money on them. just cover your bits. get them for free if you can. don't worry about it. nobody's watching.

    It was only embraced early on by very autistic nerds (with no actual technical knowledge) that we would now call 'sohy' 'cringe' 'reddit' etc. It's actually a cool aesthetic and have no hatred towards the people who liked it. It seems to have got tied up with the nerdy steampunk goth hardstyle subgenre in a weird way.

    Authors, generally, mess up with history. The idea is that it should be the Victorian society with alternative technologies. Instead, it is the modern society, modern technologies, and everything Victorian is clothing style.

    It's just a fashion statement.
    It's cyberpunk devoid of exploring social critique and than recreating the style with gears and brass ane Victorian attire. It has no other context because applying the morals of early industrialisation to technical abilities that are possible today would be a real hellscape.

        its almost like its about high tech, low lives, in the sense the words "cyber" and "punk" actually mean something.

        steampunk is always about rich high society types.

        You can reduce any form of media to buzzwords and it'll sound like shit. Cyberpunk possesses a sort of prescient relevance that most similar genres lack, where steampunk will always be rendered derivative by its nature.

    because steampunk is aryan and can be achievable with little advanced technology. just gears and steam power, very easy to achieve. very easy for the average man to grasp his head around and duplicate if he wanted to.

    whereas the popular cyberpunk is completely incomprehensible to the average man and only mega corps would be able to produce technology related to it, basically ensuring we are never self sufficient and prefer a future where we are turned into literal zogbots.

    you got PSYOP'd if you hate it, basically.

    All Steampunk needs to be not so shit is just more subtlety. Not everyone needs gears all over them or look like they're wearing some costume like an butthole. Just look at what motherfrickers where wearing at the height of the industrial age, copy it and put ONE extra stupid thing on them, just one.

    Most of the steampunk aesthetic is useless and lacks utility or function. Again, like another Anon said, just have characters wear Victorian clothes and let the steampunk emerge through the mechanical inventions and Rube Goldberg-like machines and vacuum tubes n shieeet.
