Too much steampunk?

Is a FPP to yet another mild denunciation of steampunk “the best of the Web”?

'Best of the web' has long been deprecated, joe, much to the chagrin of many.

Is it a good Metafilter post, though? I dunno. Not sure without a link which post it is that you're talking about! This one? The essay in question looks like it might be worth a careful read, on first glance, so why the hell not?

Also, pre-emptively, Cory Doctorow blah blah BoingBoing steampunk LOL Xeni blograge, William Gibson gomi bricolage objet wank.

I think there need to be MORE posts denouncing steampunk, honestly. Let it just get rabid and frothy until there's an ironic backlash where it's so counter-culture to actually do it, that it becomes cool again, and then both of our heads will explode.

I have to admit though, that post was really thin. Shoulda just emailed the moderation distribution units for subterflation.

If you are fed up of steampunk turn the valve on the left. If you are fed up of posts giving out about steampunk push the piston on the right.

On a side note I just learned that the phrase 'fed up' is a falconry term. If you over feed your falcon or hawk or whatever it will just sit in a tree and be bored instead of chasing rabbits or sparrows or whatever, because it is fed up.

I had a dream the other night that Cory Doctorow was getting high with Ted Stevens and they were arguing about who was more hardcore steampunk. Doctorow showed Stevens the GPS he built out of a sextant, a roll of vellum and a draftsman's kit. Then Sen. Stevens told Doctorow how information could be shared pneumatically between typewriters that drove pistons which were connected to a network of tubes.

As I woke up, Doctorow was weeping.

There is nothing wrong with Steampunk. It has been before for a while and will be for awhile more. It is a good thing - hella creative. Fun. Often it's SCIENCE! with a dose of ART. BIG DOSE OF ART. STOP READING BOING BOING. They make you hate it before you even know to love it. (and I don't hate BoingBoing) I am excluding , of course, the obvious hipster idiots. Who must be slapped. By me.

When I was a 1970s kid, my father still had his sextant from when he was at Officer Candidate School in the 1950s. But he had run the "fleet" aground in his training exercises so they made him a Lt. JG and let him practice law in the Navy without asking him to actually, you know, navigate. We also had ship's clocks and barometer combos. And when we were being a pack of annoyingly noisy kids, we were told to "pipe down" or "belay that."

Probably explains a lot.

I grew up in one house full of books and art and another house full of art, music, surfboards and skateboards.

And if you include various grandparents and step-grandparents, on one side I had even more books and art and also SCIENCE! and another house full of farming implements of various antiquities, because step-grandad was a curator for an agricultural museum.

I never really met my Dad's folks, though, but he apparently worked at Bell labs on the team that developed the transistor, and earlier, RADAR.


This probably explains a lot. I'm smart enough to set my own broken bones, but dumb enough to still get on a skateboard to try breaking them, and weird enough to strip naked and roll around in paint for the sake of (which for some reason I'm still trying to define) and technical enough to solder my own breadboards when I feel like it.

I grew up in a house of religious statues and talismans - infants of Prague with special robes for special occasions, scapulars of Jesuses and Marys with sacred bloody hearts poking out of their chests, and infinitesimal chips of saintly parts housed in tiny reliquaries. We eschewed scientific and mathematical gadgets. A sextant wouldn't help you find your way out of purgatory.

It's singalong time!

When I first came to MeFi I was only sixteen
With a fiver in my pocket and my ole classic Mac
I went down to the front page to check out the scene
But I soon ended up on the old grey drag

There from emails and memails they flamed out in style
And the old man with the money would ban them a while
For a sockpuppet alias they'd fork out a fiver
For a swift snark off the wrist down on the old grey drag

In the cold winter nights the old town it was cold
But there were boys in moms' basements who'd give you cheap lolz
If you didn't have the funny you could post a jpeg
There was always lots of vitriol on the old grey drag

One evening as I was trolling down in a Clinton thread
I was called out by the Cabal and kicked in the head
By the pitchforks at MeTa I was beaten and mauled
They struck me from the good books on the old grey drag

In the snarkfests the old ones who were on a flameout
Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout
And the mods they would come along and push them about
And I wished I could escape from the old grey drag

And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze
Ive been shat on and spat on and raped and abused
I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg
For somebody to save me from the old grey drag

Hay guyz wots going on in this thred?

The Front Page Post stood on the Blue
And the snarks they were within
And the Talker posts they did accuse
'Not the best of the web'
Then we clicked and shook as we had a look
At the page where the comments lay
So Metafilter made one more 'tempt
To cover this all again

But fifteen minutes later
Some folks were gettin bitchy
About too much steampunk and
Doctorow's posting history
We all started telling jokes
And pretending that we're witty
By five o'clock in the evening
Every bastard there was flameskey

Fare thee well, flag away
Or take it to the Grey
Farewell to same old double posts
From BoingBoing and SA
We'll call them out
Or at least we'll pout
Until they just go away
We all think we have something to say

We started with the catscans
And 'we have cameras' abound
We took on election coverage
And ran it into the ground
We always have time for posts
On Bush or booze or Spore
But never link to a site
That says spaying is right
Cause you'll be shown the door

Fare thee well, flag away
Or take it to the Grey
With an eye roll Matt and Cortex know
Our love for ALL CAPS DAY
Jess culling out the Chatfilter
PB avoiding the day to day
We all think we have something to say

This morning when I posted
That single link from YouTube
I remember how I swore
That one link posts were hella lame
But that video was so sweet-
A muppet Obama Girl!
I thought to show it to all of you
And add some favorites to my till

Fare thee well, flag away
Or take it to the Grey
Post you something new
Or scroll down the Blue
'stead of piling on the fray
And leave the rest of us
To click the plus
Because one thing's true, okay?
We all think we have something to say

Because I've grown incredibly tired of this argument, I'm going to choose to believe that anyone who comes into a steampunk thread for the purposes of complaining about how stupid it is, is doing so because in their private time, they like to wear brass goggles and leather jodhpurs, and they are afraid that if doing so becomes popular and mainstream, they will no longer be able to get off on the illicit sexiness that is the sound of steam whistling through a half opened valve.
