I suppose this means that punk-rock was a retro-movement, trying to recreate the spirit of the original steam-punks but using uhm, rocks and maybe some electricity?
Flower Power, tie-dye, bellbottoms, free love, Sir Jimmy Hendrix bringing down the opera house and steam powered clanks roaming the countryside fighting our wars for us. This was all in Europe of coarse, as America hadn't been discovered yet.
My, my how time flies when you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
I have to believe this is a true statement and not her being silly or flippant, because it's the winner of the dumbest thing said this year (so far). It's...beautiful.
1960's: Steampunk

My next computer will be steam-powered!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to stop reading this comic before it drives me to suicide... probably.
ReplyDeleteI have to hope she was being flippant otherwise I'll go mad at just how wrong that comment is...

I'm amazed you didn't dive over the counter and smack her.
ReplyDeleteHow do you resist bursting in laughter after hearing something like this??
ReplyDeleteDon't know how it would effect the energy crisis, but switching to steampunk technology would definitely make things much more awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt would also make things a lot more sooty. Those steam engines were fueled with coal and wood, remember.
ReplyDeleteNow I really want to read a Steampunk comic set in the 1960s...
ReplyDeleteNeeds more unobtanium.
ReplyDeleteHumanity has reached its nadir.
ReplyDeletebrb, commiting suicide due to the stupid
ReplyDeleteMaybe she means Transistor-punk.

ReplyDeleteHow do you not go crazy?
ReplyDeleteThat girl is a genius.
