Punk and punkery

Journal Entry: Thu Jul 3, 2008, 11:43 AM
I've noticed a trend in the "-punk" subgenres, ie: Steampunk, dieselpunk, etc., And I've decided to come up with a few of my own. Use them as you wish. And Please! Tell me if they already exist.

Hobopunk:
Era: 1920's-1930's, Dustbowl/Great Depression-era.
Characteristics: Anti-establishment, wandering and wayfaring, Living off the fat of the land
Look: think O' Brother, Where Art Thou?
Music: Early bluegrass, general "hobo" music.
Reads: "Grapes of Wrath", "The Jungle", etc

Gonzopunk:
Era: Late 1960's-Early 1970's
Characteristics: Heavy drug use, prominent usage of sarcasm, very political
Look: Aviator sunglasses, Hawaiian shirts, cigarettes
Music: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, etc.
Reads: Anything by Hunter S. Thompson

Wonderpunk:
Era: Late Victorian
Characteristics: Imagination
Look: Hatters, cats, caterpillars... etc.
Music: Honestly.. I have no idea.
Basically, this one just popped into mind from looking at some Alice in Wonderland doodles.

Some I'd like to work on:
Romeropunk, Fightpunk..

The list goes on. Fightpunk is roughly anything Palanuihk (Sp?)

Enjoy, my friends. I hope this gave you a good laugh or two, and maybe some bad ideas.

i want to tear your name from the veins of the leaves

No, can't say so. I've been into modding for quite a while, but never realized it was a community until recently!

Haha, it does not.

Thank you, kindly!
I am envious of people skilled with a pen, such as yourself. I'll just stick to doodles.
~velvetgoldmineee:iconvelvetgoldmineee: Jun 6, 2008, 11:05:17 PM
Rare to run into a combination of the two!
I read some terrifying steambashing on a Nerf forum once and thought I was pretty much alone on this.
Glad to know I'm not!
Style does not have to be forfeited for function!

No problem, sir. Those goggles were downright amazing!

Adam Ant and Legos... doesn't get much better than that! :dance:

I'm so envious of people who can make things from random widgets and doodads. I seriously lack that skill.

Really, awesome stuff!

hmm, a fellow nerfer, and fellow steampunk.

-_O I'm keeping a monoggle on you!

thanks for the fav too!

Aye, I was lucky to have them around for two week's notice ^^; And yeah, I wish I could have made an actual Sleepy Hollow-type glasses, but the telescopic bit would have been impossible for me (I haven't that much patience) And I shall be keeping up the work, old chap :ahoy: You too, ey?

~velvetgoldmineee:iconvelvetgoldmineee: May 30, 2008, 11:06:24 AM
Intriguing! I like the fact that they were made with things that had just been collecting around. I do notice a Sleepy Hollow-inspiration to the glasses. I was going for the same thing, but they look easier to make than they are. Haha. But yes, good sir, keep up the fantastic work!
*Nikumaru:iconNikumaru: May 30, 2008, 1:45:09 AM
Ah right... actually I suppose in a certain way I had the same thing in mind... though I've used the idea so often, I didn't know any more it came from there ^^;
But aye... always a good idea to take a look around for inspiration... you wouldn't believe (or maybe you would) the collection of photovisuals and sketches I had amassed in the two weeks aforetime I put this together.
I think I have in the description here a pretty complete description of what I had used for my hand-device, might you wonder about something (though I put the ingredients of my glasses and belts and all the get-up in one list alike :worry: )

Haha... I used the same for my glasses, basically... though one pair of just old glasses of myself, plus some more parts of broken glasses and sunglasses we had lying around in the attic, and parts from lamp constructions and whatnot... but those artistic melting-togethers of seemingly junk are all the more awe-inspiring, are they not? :sherlock:
