I'm really laughing right now. My daughter came bouncing in a little earlier saying, "I like a Steampunk band!" I asked her who it was, and she said Abney Park. I told her lots of people on the goth board are making fun of them right now. After a flustered pause, she said, "Well, I only like a few of their songs." Tee hee. She played Airship Pirates for me. Not too bad.

Heh. Well, Abney isn't really that bad in my personal opinion. Though I only generally like a few songs. You should encourage your daughter to listen to them more often that way she can go by her own opinion instead those of strangers off a forum.

There were a few songs of theirs she didn't like very much either. They're a lot better than mainstream crap anyway. Hee
To Beauismyhorse: These are not in order since I'm naming them off the top of my head: The Cure, Muse, Depeche Mode, AFI, Linkin Park, Within Temptation, Evanescence, Stolen Babies, Red, TFK, a lot of 80's music, Clan of Xymox, Modest Mouse, Kanon Wakeshima, some rave music and DDR songs, Peter Murphy, Erasure, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Psychedelic Furs, A-ha, Les Miserables, Danny Elfman, Phantom of the Opera, Hannah Montana (just kidding), and a few scattered others...

Hmm, where is that discussion on brassgoggles then? I'd like to see it provided that the battery meter doesn't run out first.

Steampunks are just brown goths.

Whoa. Whoa.
What the eff is with all the Abney Park hate?
Capitalizing off Steampunk? How about actually having the initiative to take it out of pathetic dA and Gaia circles and into the real world, as an actual style of music?
No, no. It's unfair to call it capitalism. Every labor deserves its pay, and they've done a lot.

You made a point here.
It does seem like Steampunk is more rooted into the internet life, which was my whole point on making this thread.
I give much credit to people who bring it out into the real world.
Although, some dA stuff were real life, they had to take a photo of it somehow.
Although, most on dA is drawings.
But that goes for anything else as well, so I don't think calling most of the art on dA pathetic is fair.
But you can call gaia pathetic.
But we all know that my gaia character kicks ass

So don't argue there.
Hmm....I really should think about getting back to Brassgoggles.
I haven't visited that forum in ages.

My sister has a "boyfriend" on Gaia...and I was like...what? I don't understand!!! I never understood the concept of online relationships. However, that's another story
I know NOTHING! about steampunk really, I know that I hate the music....but it DOES make stuff look cool.

You know how 4chan is like the Mos Eisly Cantina of the internet? The "wretched hive of scum and villiany?"
Gaia is where the twelve-year-olds who wish they were that hardcore hang out and congradulate themselves on their failures. The entire site is a cesspool of unfunny forced memes, underage b&, and general inanity.
The avatar creation system is fun, though, which makes Gaia all the more depressing.

I think the problem is, it's more of a marketing gimmick instead of an actual artistic aesthetic for them.
They look pretty, but ask yourself: Are they being artists or are they latching on to some obscure trend?

Couldn't you say that about any artist? Or about anyone? I mean, in the end we're all a bunch of fucking poseurs, right?
Just because someone sees something and says, 'that's cool, let me try that/build an image on that', doesn't make them any less and artist of that genre. At some point every Goth person or band had to say, dressed in their khaki shorts , "hey! That music/fashion/asthetics fits me, I like it. I'm going to try it."
It's just natural and let's face it, all music is capitalism in some form. It's a market, and if there is a demand, someone needs to supply. That's what groups like Vernian Process and Abney Park do.
Not unlike when bands started catering to the black-dressed fans of Bauhaus in the Batcave Club.

I knew of Abney Park before Steampunk became this sorta trend most like to say.
So I do not believe it's the latter.

Abney Park has been around for a while, since the late-90s, aye?
