While procrastinating from my job that actually allows me to eat, I had a search through eBay with just one keyword: steampunk.
My aim was to find the most dubious articles I could that had been given a steampunk description. It’s no secret that sellers are using this new found keyword to widen their market in the hope that we’re stupid. It’s so nice to be second guessed by people who don’t really know the ins and outs of steampunk. If they do, they should know better than to label some of this stuff as steampunk:
Agreed, not steampunk, but that watch is pretty cool looking. Whether it’s also cool working is another story.
Sadly, the adjective “steampunk” is being corrupted into something like “made of metal!” or “wears a top hat!” or “grey!” by those that don’t really understand the aesthetic.
Just wait for the free-range, gluten-free steampunk items!
I have very similar shades to those brown tortoiseshell ones…I happily refer to them as retro, however.
A steampunk header tank is something we all need!
