What I like about Steampunk:

I like:
- Goggles
- Evil mechanical bad guys
- Mechanical arms
- Flying ships
- Clockworks
- Twirly mustached villains
- Leather satchels
- Gadgets
- Timepieces on chains
- Tools on chains
- Churning gears
- Dirigibles
- Melancholy side-kicks
- Tubes and beakers
- Steam engines
- Swords
- Muskets
- Boots with buckles
- Giant mechanical automatons
- Copper
- Top hats
- Capes
- Ladies in dresses
- Rivots
- Mike Mignola’s creations (Fist on chain, mecha-ape, etc.)
- Gaslight
- That it is largely undefined; there’s no “wrong” way.
- That it’s a DIY movement; you make your own gear, costumes, and stuff.
- Cowboys (Yes, these can be steampunk too… just the USA version.)
- People are generally doing a great job with their costumes and props.

What I don’t like about steampunk:
- It’s getting popular
- Soon, everything will be “steampunk”
- Cheesy British accents
- There hasn’t been a totally proper steampunk movie yet
