Anyone here into Steampunk?
Discussion
Last weekend I chanced upon a Steampunk Festival. It appeared to be just an excuse for mainly middle aged people to don fancy dress involving hats and goggles.
I understand it's roots are in fantasy science fiction, but, is it just harmless dressing up games for grown- ups, or is there more to it than that?

I'm far too 'straight' when it comes to wearable fashions, but I love the look of it, especially in the movies. I think Gary Oldman in Dracula and Johnny Depp and they are pretty cool. I doubt in the real world many people can get away with it without looking a tt though!
Bars and restaurants designed around it can look great and I'm actually likely to put a hint of it in a cottage we are renovating for holiday lets. There are some really cool lights and accessories on the market. Just type 'steampunk lighting' into Google images!

Whitby goth weekend. Google is your friend.
Quite a sight that’s for sure
Indeed, been there and it's quite a spectacle.Quite a sight that’s for sure
Off topic, but I measure cold weather by the benchmark of how cold it was on the Bram Stoker walk we went on. Ice cold wind from the North Sea cutting you in half it was so fking cold. Leningrad in February was preferable to that. Face was like this ----->

Semmed to be mostly a middle aged/retired thing from what I saw.

There’s Steampunk music too, Professor Elemental is one of the big ones.
