Geddy's Soul Patch Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Oh. You're 19? Americans are pretty dumb in general. This is the backed-up by evidence. The average American lives a highly superficial consumerist self-absorbed lifestyle. You'll learn. That wasn't condescending or anything... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 trust me, man. I'm 19. steampunk was soooo huge with kids when CA dropped, that's why the sellouts in rush wrote about it. for the $$$. you couldn't go to school last year without hearing jocks and cheerleaders go on and on about how cool steampunk is. Wasn't it initially popular with nerds and the video game/anime crowd? Chrono Trigger kickstarted the initial popularity of streampunk in my eyes. dude, I'm bullshitting. no one knows what the hell steampunk is. you're probably right that if there's any steampunk fad, it's because of stuff like chrono trigger and final fantasy 7 (if that counts) and other rpg's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savagegrace26 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Well the general trend started with anime...and goes back to hg wells...the popularity in Americs started with video games I think. I know what steampunk is. It's pretty definable. Edited September 9, 2014 by savagegrace26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The average American lives a highly superficial consumerist self-absorbed lifestyle. You'll learn. I know this, and I love my superficial consumerist self-absorbed lifestyle. I think most folks in any civilized country like to consume things and I'd wager every single person you've ever met is self-absorbed in some way. I'm not gonna act like frasier crane just because I choose to consume rush instead of what "the masses" are into. seems to me, what with the appearances in video games, movies, commercials, tv shows, and the fact that there's never a rush gig with less than 10,000 people, the stupid masses have caught on to our little secret... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Now maybe he writes the songs for money instead of for himself... it's so obvious clockwork angels was written with nothing but dollar signs in mind. with all these songs about...steampunk watchmaker bullshit...filling up the pop charts and dominating every teen's ipod, it was only a matter of time before these old sellouts tried to cash in. this is a very weird thread. to lorraine: I don't know and don't care to know what you're talking about, but I definitely know that neil peart was not angry at someone for not knowing his band. to the guy who posted a big thing about americans being stupid: what?? america hates neil peart? because kim kardashian's baby was on the news...what?? to everyone else: you're all horrible.At least Lorraine got away unscathed on that one.... Edit: she's not horrible anyway. I need to read back and see if I am.... Edited September 9, 2014 by Narpski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Now what is "cyberpunk"? I know it's what neuromancer is supposed to be. the actual definition, I have no clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Now what is "cyberpunk"? I thought that was supposed to be set in the future. I think there are design elements that are similar but the futuristic versus an alternate timeline like Steampunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
