Not hot enough to be an anime/comic/emo? Try steampunk (22 Photos)

huh…wtf is steampunk?

mook

One day early 2005 Goth was hit by a meteor and split into steam punk and emo. Both are not hardcore or bad ass anymore.

for the record, goths never were hardcore, they just whined about different shit

The girl in number is really beautiful, I have a lot of her stuff that I use as examples for ‘steampunk extreme’ (steampunk that doesn’t closely follow the fashion of its timeframe).
Also, most of the goths and steampunkers that I know are neither whiny nor emos. Most of them are nice people who are most accepting and least drama-laden I’ve ever known. I can’t go totally goth because I just don’t look that good in the clothes, but I have found them to have much in common with me. These ae hardcore people, but hardcore is a relative and subjective term. I mean Mark Macguire is a hardcore hitter (steroids or not), Gary Gygax was a hardcore role-player, Emeril is a hardcore chef… you see where I’m going with that?
I think that anyone who judges an entire subculture doesn’t really know anyone who is a part of it and therefore should be subject to stupidity laws and dumped into a vat of Birthday Cake Icecream (the stupidest icecream known to man) for their crimes. They don’t really deserve anything serious because they haven’t earned it.

grr, stupid keyboard…
Number 22 is what I was trying to write.
The girl is number 22 is really beautiful.

Steampunk is a genre of fiction set in worlds where everything still looks similar to Victorian times even if their technology has advanced past our own (giant robots powered by steam, Zeppelins, lots of corsets, etc). Goth's have generally had some interest in it but it's two different sub cultures (Goths unsuprisingly beiing more interested in Gothic, eg stuff like Brahm Stoker's Dracula).

Emo is an unrelated and annoying teenager musical genre.

Cosplayers are people who dress appropriately for their favourite fictional genre (such as the people in this post). I've never really seen the point, unless you were going to a party or something.

Brought to you by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp? A cross between Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow.

fashion victims the lot.
Blah

Number 13 is Emilie Autumn, and as far as I know, she’s not steampunk. Victorian Goth/Punk, maybe, but not steampunk. I’ve seen her in concert and didn’t see anything steampunk about it.
damn

has the potential for sexiness but these chics just don’t cut it.

Warped

Well they do “cut it” if you are talking about their wrists

Brandon

Reminds me a lot of Bioshock.

A new form of freakiness, not bad, not too bad at all. But, can they bend over? thats the real test. Just kidding. They look good to me!!

HellHathNoFury

The Hindenburg

garp

HellHathNoFury

You’re about to have a stowaway in the form of me.
Ken

Any font that can have a Don Quixote reference and use the word ‘fuselage’ in the same comment deserves a shout-out in my book. Well done garp!

ozzie

ok this made my peepee soft.

garp

…you shouldn’t be surfing the interwebs with a raging boner anyway

kp

markkens

Number 13 is Emilie Autumn, she is a crazy violinist and crazy as in omfg she’s good. She is also a singer, I saw her live in Oct.
aaron

So a steampunk is like a pirate/welder hybrid then? Weird.
ror

I thought 6,8, and 10 were pretty hot. Better looking than any fucking emos to say the least, but that’s a low bar, so i’ll just say they’re hot.
strawberrywaffle

they’re like crappy goth kids!
clitorosaurus rex

so…you just dress like you’re in a Terry Gilliam movie?

This is what happens when you run out of the normal cache of fads and/or coping systems for the socially challenged, you realize you have to invent something, and the best idea on the table is, “alright, let’s take the publicity poster for Sweeney Todd, throw in the gift shop from the Pensacola Naval Air Museum, throw some flour on our faces and attempt to conjure the essence of the Roaring 20s all over again. It’ll be a gas…”
chiverheckler

What is steampunk!? Emo with goggles?
