Yes, 'steampunk fashion' is cool. You don't obsess about it. It's become a trend here.
It's the exact same thing as a preppy girl 'goes gothic,' except you all want to 'go steampunk.'
In other words, stop being wannabes. It's annoying as fuck.

Wait, is there some actual steampunk culture that I don't know about? Because otherwise then it's just a style of clothing. And clothing trends will always exist, whether it's the romantigoth look or cyber goth or steampunk, and I don't understand why people can't experiment with new styles. A prep "going goth" is trying to be something they're not; a goth dressing steampunk is just experimenting with fashion.
My style ranges from Victorian/period inspired, to old school goth, to deathrock. Am I a wannabee on three counts then because I vary my style?
I think getting defensive about people's interest in a style of fashion as if one owns the patent for an entire style is just as retarded as blindly following trends, if not moreso.
