O gawd... Steampunk on MTV

Widespread exposure for a pair of my favorite bands which is great...

But a piece on Steampunk on MTV just made my soul die a little.

That was a great informational link. Thanks Madechai!

Good thing: It was an interesting bit that helps to promote the subculture and their bands, styles, etc.

Bad thing: Expect Steamposers come out more now

Steamposers! Ha ha ha!!!

I used to be more fequent to a Steampunk board and I remember people arguing exactly what should be the appropiate term to refer to someone who is a member of the Steampunk subculture... I don't remember if they ever reached to something, though

Max, you need to get that term copyrighted before MTV steals it from you.

Knowing MTV, it's already too late

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Steamposers, OMFG!!!

That was priceless, Max.

Just great, another subculture with drama and negative judgement as to who is a true Steampunker or Steamposer.

thats soooo good!!!

O gawd... Another chance to promote dr Steel

Yeah, I picked up on that little bit real quick. I think having a little exposier is a good thing, so what it was Mtv, fact of the matter is Mtv is so widly viewed that it deffinetly got the steampunky word out there. they arent altogether pointless as a way to get something seen...

rofl "steamposers"

Quick! Start to popularize Steamposer! Someone write a letter to Dr. Steel!

Dr. Steel should do a song called "Steamposers". LOL!

I couldn't resist.

That would be a hell of a song, though

That would probably piss off a bunch of hardcore Steampunkers though.

BAH, whatever.

Perhaps it would be like the old school goths and the new gothlings, I guess... not sure, though
