| Dr. Loveless, "Wild, Wild West" |
Steampunk
is the lifestyle that continues to remain in the United States,
Canada,
UK and other
nations. Yet, it is not a fad but a culture and lifestyle
in itself. It has a history
longer
than you would think. It has become a lucrative
and profitable industry. It even has kicked in “Motor
City”, Detroit, despite its falling into ruin from corruption
and bankruptcy. The TV series, Wild,
Wild West and subsequent remake is based upon
Neo-Victorian
in the American West; Steam-powered contraptions created by the
master villain [Dr. Loveless] that the heroes must face. There is even The
Steampunk Tribune, “reporting on Steampunk since 2007”.
But its
the gadgets that seem to attract onlookers and customers.
But what is Steampunk exactly?
