Welcome to Gaia! ::

What do you consider Steampink Music?

I know of Abney Park, which are steampunked theme.
But that is all. Some people consider classical as steampunk.
I reckon Battles are pretty steampunky, there songs like Atlas and Tonto.

For me, hybrid music that incorporates both old and new elements is most "steampunk". For instance, the Irish rock style of Flogging Molly is definitely something I can see being performed in a steampunk setting.

Incidentally, this is a duplicate thread.

I guess there really isn't too much of a "steampunk" music.
My favourite bands/artists when I'm in the mood for drawing it though come out to be Emilie Autumn, Voltaire, Abney Park, Nine Inch Nails, The Horrors, Kanon Wakeshima, Kokusyoku Sumire, Vampire Weekend, Panic! at the Disco, The Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer, The Cruxshadows, Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, Tarja, Enya, and classics like Mozart and whatnot. :B I have a whole monstrous folder for when I draw up some steampunk. xD The list does go on.

I recently got soundly smacked for mentioning the notion of "steampunk music genre" at a con, amongst other steamgoers... Apparently literary elements are fine...but some apparently think it should be reserved to literature and dress alone. We, my friends, have somehow become something of a fashion statement... and that is a bit of a thorn in my opinion.

And on that note- two cons in the last three weeks. Last year, at the same cons, and even march or so earlier this year at a different con- there were VERY few steampunk costumes. This year? I couldn't miss the amounts with gear decked hats and gloves, in victorian dress, etc... The explosion was astounding, and a little frightening. Everyone and their mother had goggles. @_@

Oh yeah- and I don't agree with those people. I think steampunk music IS TOO possible. =)

I guess your right. But i wanted to make a short steampunk video, and incorporate appropiate music into it. But i wasn't sure what it could be. So i started up this thread.
