Nothing against Steampunk as genre; I like that part of it, but its recent incarnation as a lifestyle/fashion statement/subculture throws me a little off-balance. Lolita Fashion? Neo-Victorianism? WTF?

One of the bigger fuck ups of my life, and there are many, was not beating an artist friend with a hose to continue a summer project of ours in the halcyon days of 1982. Steamrock Johnny and The Edge of Seventeen stories. It was steampunk, dammit. And I had no clue.
