Glue Some Gears on it and Call it Steampunk

[Doomsdave]

SInce the topic of defining steampunk vs. VSF comes up frequently; I thought I would contribute to the dialogue.

As a lingerie fetishist afficionado of women's unmentionables, I find the better definition being that if the ladies wear the corset under their other clothes, then it's VSF and if they wear them over their other clothes, then it's steampunk.

Couldn't have put it better my self.

It is a workable definition.

VSF is the Victorian age with SF elements applied to it.

Steampunk is the modern world dipped in a Victorian sauce (with some gears glued on it somewhere)

Actually, the video has come up frequently, as well.

Doesn't really get to any difference 'twixt VSF and Steampunk; more defending Steampunk from folks that make it even less Victorian-relevant. I suppose he'd agree with Frank Chadwick that VSF and Steampunk are one-in-the-same...

Damn fun video, though. Thanks for reminding me.

Jolly well-done video, that chap! 

[Laflin and Rand]

Yeah, the video is more about laziness and fadishness.

Too much food for thought here. I'm going to FanExpo on Saturday in Toronto and fear that this video will demand that I give some wannabe Steampunk Blighter a good thrashing for his lack of effort and creativity

Victorian rap with a J.K.Rowling twist...?

I thought that was saved for the occasion if 'in their eyes there's something lacking...'

That is a VERY COOL/FUNNY find...LOVED IT! Its solves the great Steampunk/VSF question; i.e., if it's covered in gears it's Steampunk; & if it's riddled with rivets, it's VSF.

... I'd never thought of that but it's as good a distinction as any.

Actually, that's a list of two. Unmentionables, exterior/interior; gears/rivets. In truth, I'm fine with VSF showing exposed, if integral, gears, but counter-analogous would be a string of rivets around spectacles.

More clever aphorisms for the list?
