STEAMPUNK

There is some dispute in this Forum HERE —as to whether this is true steampunk. Well it is Steampunk enough for me, look  at those goggles and all those cogs

There are two kinds of steampunks:  Those who live in a steampunk world of their choosing, and those who go to online forums and argue about what’s not steampunk.  The former is quite willing to push boundaries in order to fit steampunk into their reality; the latter will gladly tell you something is “not steampunk” but their version likely involves hanging out in a Hilton out by the airport with most of a clock glued to themselves.  This is the irony:  The more likely a person to argue about what’s “not steampunk”, the less steampunk they are.
