Are there any good dieselpunk comics or cartoons.
I guess Korra is dieselpunk, but it being considered "good" is highly debatable

>>77387558
>Where does he keep the boiler?
In his hat of course
I thought Dieselpunk was shit like Mad Max and Tankgirl
>>77387611
it was victorian fetishism that required zero historical accuracy. Sherlock Holmes vs the Clockwork Automatons is a pretty easy concept to sell.
>dieselpunk
>>77387400
Hellboy and Lobster Johnson are dieselpunk.
Rocketer has some elements of it.
>>77387680
Yes and no. It can be like that, but it can also be like steampunk but everything runs on shit-tier diesel/gas engines instead of steam and clockwork.
Lady Mechanika has been pretty cool. Oddly doing a lot of what is wrong with Steampunk and what is right.
>>77387465
steampunk can be done well, the league of extraordinary gentlemen for example
>>77387680
That's Post-apocalyptic. Diesel is more 30's to 50's tech.

Those are nice, but I personally prefer some good ol' raygun gothic.
>>77388093
From what I understand, the "punk" part originally came from early cyberpunk, where the main character was usually a punk rebelling against the futuristic society. The "punk" part just stuck, which is why it's tagged onto anything that's "cyberpunk, except with X instead of cyber".
>>77387465
Steam Boy was cool.
>>77388210
yeah, and it worked with cyberpunk, because those worlds were kind of punk.
eventually we will degrade the world down to "normal punk" which will just be the regular way of dressing.
agh
>>77388129
Whatever fake Tomorrowland and Meet The Robbinsons was, that's the kind of punk for me.

Fallout is actually Atomicpunk.
Dieselpunk is 30's-40's, Atomicpunk is 50's and 60's.
Nobody gives a fuck about the 70's. Star Wars maybe, whatever punk it is.
80's-futuristic Blade Runner/Shadowrun/Ghost In The Shell knockoff is Cyberpunk.
>>77388093
The first "punk" story was a sci fi short story from 1980 titled "Cyberpunk" which was the inspiration for Blade Runner, the first Cyberpunk visual work. If he'd called it "Cyberskub" or something, we'd be saying Steamskub, Dieselskub, and so on.
>>77388677
That's because idiots don't bother making the distinction between steampunk and clockpunk
Steampunk is supposed to be wild wild west like stuff. Clockpunk is the victorian-era switches, springs and gears style that everyone calls steampunk

Well specifically, Star Wars falls into the space opera category.
*punk is harmful (& autistic). Not as much for consumers/reviewers, but if you as a creator intentionally set your story in a -punk setting you're just unnecessarily restricting what you can do with and binding yourself to enacting a list of tired old tropes in order to fit in.
>>77390998

How was that steampunk?
What is this fucking fixation on labeling the extreme minutiae in fictional settings? Does fucking everything have to be categorized and given a punk prefix?
No really. Trigger warning for my buzzword but is this some autistic thing I just don't understand?
>>77391001
That's like saying you're limiting yourself by writing a noir pulp story.
If you're using the theme to define the story, you're limiting yourself. But -punk is the category you fall into.
Twilight Zone is pioneerpunk, Napoleonpunk, dieselpunk, and atomicpunk for example. With a bit of speculative fiction.
The stories are set in their times, but not defined by it. For example, the episode with the Confederates on their way to Gettysburg who discover black magic. The story is Napoleonicpunk but is defined by the story rather than just being a generic plot themed with the American Civil War.
Otherwise you'd have to either stick to historical plausibility or make a whole setting up each time.
>>77391057
Er let me rephrase that.
What would you consider the stone machines run by magic with tron lines from Disney's atlantis? What would that be called?
>>77391191

>>77391191

I have no real idea though.
>>77391118
That's basically what you are saying. Despite your claims, there is no harm in being specific. Or does creative freedom stop being okay the instant YOU disagree with something?
>>77391167
>What is this fucking fixation on labeling the extreme minutiae in fictional settings?

>>77391156
If its Victorian fiction with fantasy elements, its Steampunk.
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is Steampunk.
See, -punk isn't supposed to be a style. It's a category of fiction which includes fantastical or advanced elements.
If you decide to write a story about World War 2 story incolving alien tech and/or a wizard, you've written a Dieselpunk story. You didn't set out intending to write one, and you didn't have the protagonist wearing a gas-powered fedora, but it fits into thw category.
Then you inspire some knockoffs who do a tited, vanilla story starring a ripoff of Indiana Jones with a gas powered fedora and cite you as inspiration for their gas-powered fedora convention.
>>77391001
Only if you're that bad at writing. This is like saying using a rhyme scheme limited the grandeur of Shakespeare. A 'punk' setting is nothing more than a backdrop to tell a story within. The limitations are just pillars to build your narrative around.
>>77387400
Your aesthetics are dumb.
Give me vaporwave comics/cartoons.
>>77391167
Because categorization is what humans do.
That's why every subspecies of animal has two latin names and fits onto a chart.
-punk is just the new terminology.

Is this some TV tropes shit? Making up awful names for settings
>>77391001
Get a load of this pleb.
Restricting yourself stylistically or otherwise is a widely used technique by writers and artists in general. That's like, the fucking basis of poetry, it rhymes.
What, you're just not going to have a setting? You're just going to go with "anything fucking goes, here's robots and aztecs and giant ants motherfucker, creativity!"?
Because really, that's not so far to a lot of *punk stories anyway.
>>77391226
Sometimes you need to create a whole universe on Tolkien scale for one story.
Sometimes, you just want to write a story about a peddler in the 1950's who tries to outwit the grim reaper.
Besides, by creating a whole new tyoe of setting, you're just birthing a new -punk.
There's only twelve kinds of fiction you can possibly write, remember.
>Adventure
>Romance
>Fantasy
>Science Fiction
>Historical/plausible
>Horror
>Mystery
>Comedy
Nothing fictional you can write doesn't fall into one of those.

-punk predates Tropes.
-punk as a category of fiction became a term in the late 80's.
Tropes are a late 2000's term relating to elements of fiction.
The two are not mutually exclusive, nor are the early 1969's ideas of subcategorizing genre.
>>77391511

>>77391321
>-punk is just the new terminology.
Well could you stop forcibly perpetuating that? It didn't take long for someone to point out that what you're looking for is already called retro-futurism.
In fact i'm looking at this thread and every time a genre is mentioned some autistalmost certainly youwonders aloud "what kind of -punk is that?" And the response is always, "It fucking isn't." Because it fucking isn't.
So stop.

oh you're trolling. this is some poes law shit right here.
>>77391281
>20,000 Leagues Under The Sea is Steampunk.
Eh. Steampunk evolved to imitate Jules Verne and science fiction writings of the time they're depicting (notably by having scientifically impossible machines like pic related from Verne's Robur the Conqueror), that doesn't retroactively make Jules Verne steampunk.
>>77391568

>>77391568
>what you're looking for is already called retro-futurism.
Ackshully, retro-futurism is a generic term for every fiction that imitates futuristic/science fiction writing from a past period.
Most *punk genre are retro-futuristic, but not all of them are.
Besides, they can have codes other tham retro-futurism, like Steampunk is often fanfiction-like in featuring characters from pre-existing stories, like League of the Extraordinary Gentlemen.
I agree that naming everything *punk is kind of stupid and gay though.
>>77391568
That wasn't me.
You seem to have some emotional trauma related to the idea of fiction having themes, and taking place in times other than your backyard five minutes in the future.
Or is it just the -punk suffix you have such disdain for?
You could just call it Steam Fiction, Atmoc Fiction, and Cyber Fiction and it'd mean the same.
If your problem is people being lazy and just writing a categort rather than story, that's not exclusive to -punk. For example, Twilight is just Romance written as a genre rather than story. Dean Koontz writes Horror and Thriller, not stories that are Horror or Thriller fiction. You could call it Romancepunk or Thriller punk, it'd mean the exact same.
If the problem is attention whores dressed up in tophats with cogs and brass-painted dollar store laser gun toys, that's a problem with fandom rather than -punk. You get the same for everything people like.
So what is it that irks you so?

Steampunk doesn't refer to an era of things wrotten, it refers to a category of fiction.
The "Horror" category came after Bram Stoker's Dracula was written. But it does then later get added.
>>77391654
Historical is actually, for example a fictionalized account of a soldier. Red Badge Of Courage is Historical Fiction.
Also, yes I did. I'm sorry.
>>77391771

I'd say thats because the implications of cyberpunk technology (AI, cybernetic bodies, etc) are ripe for creating intriguing speculative fiction stories. Whereas the question: "What if it was steam powered?" doesn't conjure much.
>>77391815
I guess rather than Victorian, you have to say Age of Industrialization.
The two go hand in hand but I guess you could have one and not the other.
Would a story of a Japan expy in a Russian-Japanese War/World War 1 scenario still be Steampunk?
>>77391799
>Steampunk doesn't refer to an era of things wrotten, it refers to a category of fiction.
Actually it's both. For it to be retro-fiction, and thus qualify as steampunk, it has to qualify as "retro", and thus written after the period it's set in.
Not to be that guy, but I read a book about the history of steampunk one bored summer, I'm pretty sure I know more about the genre's definition and codes than you do.
>Historical is actually, for example a fictionalized account of a soldier. Red Badge Of Courage is Historical Fiction.
That's war.
Historical isn't a genre, it's a type of setting. You can have anything genre historical.

>Would a story of a Japan expy in a Russian-Japanese War/World War 1 scenario still be Steampunk?
It can be, if the ascetics fit, the same way the Scramble for Africa can be steampunk. Late WWI is more dieselpunk than steampunk, though.
>>77391281
>>77391875
Fantasy elements put it more in the realm of gaslamp fantasy. But TLoEG is just as much sci-fi as fantasy, so it counts.
It doesn't have to literally rely on steam to be steampunk. If it's Victorian or Edwardian-era retrofuturism, that checks enough boxes to qualify. That's why you hear bullshit science words like "aether" and "phlogiston" getting thrown around.
>>77391824
>>77392164
Could Steampunk be good for anything?
Maybe if we took it to the logical conclusion.
It's based in the Industrial Age then taken to extremes, so then we take the issues of the Industrial age and do the same.
>>77391762
Honestly you can't really escape that what steampunk turned into in shitty internet culture has completely preemptively ruined any future works that may choose to use it, or anything similar, as a setting.
So yeah, i have a problem with grasping to find the nearest non-ruined fictional setting and give it the ol' steampunk treatment.

>>77392260
>ascetics
Aesthethics. Stupid autocorrect, etc.
>>77392276
There is plenty of fiction that features the industrial age and its social issues. It's usually not as pseudo-science fiction as steampunk though.
>>77392284
>They ruined Blimps
But the story I'm writing has the main characters home as a Blimp!
Also is Diesel Dieselpunk?

You claiming it's irredeemably terrible because midgets like to wear stupid clockwork hats really doesn't matter to whether the "genre" can actually have good stories. I really don't care much if I don't agree with you or what you perceive to be the zeitgeist.
Besides it's not like you've actually even tried to explain it.
I just want more stitchpunk.
9 and Little Big Planet are the only things I can think of that really did that style, and I love both of them.
>>77391281
You're slightly off, as a WW2 story with alien tech or a wizard is firmly in the Weird War genre. It might be dieselpunk, but not necessarily. Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series is about aliens in WW2, but is not a dieselpunk story.
I do like the term: AfroFuturism, the presence of black people in science fiction is rather understated.

Also what's the difference between guard and defend and protect?
>>77392552
That's a pretty fedora thing to say. But if you're saying "I don't give a shit about obnoxious fandoms because I just enjoy things for what they are," then yeah, I agree.
Speaking of. I think what people fail to realise is that a lot of the "glue cogs on shit" steampunk set are just having a laugh with it. It's all very tongue-in-cheek. They're making silly art and wearing it, and they know it's silly.
>>77392648
Yeah, that really isn't big enough to warrant its own subgenre. I get calling it that jokingly, or as a marketing ploy, but not as a thing where you subvert the entrenched values of ragdolls or whatever.
>>77392695
Protect is like, he leads them, guides them. Makes sure they have enough food, keeps them safe, that sort of thing.
Defend or Protect is a much blurrier line though. From what I remember though, 7 was much more offensive, going out and actually attacking the monsters, and 8 was much more specifically guarding the camp type thing.
>>77392743
I dunno, it's just a cool aesthetic. Everything tiny, using shit like thimbles or needles as weapons or armor, materials having different properties that small, that sort of thing. It just looks cool.
I'm also a sucker for like, mouse fantasy and that sort of thing.
>>77392743
>That's a pretty fedora thing to say.
.... Self determination is "fedora" now? I can't keep up with 4chan terminology anymore. None of these damn words mean anything.
>But if you're saying "I don't give a shit about obnoxious fandoms because I just enjoy things for what they are," then yeah, I agree.

>>77388093
yes
>>77392276
Taking the issues of the Industrial Age to extremes, or even just a baseline examination of the issues of the Industrial Age gets you cyberpunk. I mean, that's the humorous part about cyberpunk, it doesn't actually have a vision of the future just a picture of the past with different tech.
Prohibition dieselpunk is best dieselpunk.
>>77392781
Well, yeah, that's the "making art" part of it. They're enjoying it unironically, making pretty things and all that, but they still accept that it's all very silly. Most of the "steampunk fandom" I've seen has at least some element of gentle self-mocking, in the same way that a lot of honest goths adore guys like Voltaire (the musician, not the writer).
>>77392850
>.... Self determination is "fedora" now? I can't keep up with 4chan terminology anymore. None of these damn words mean anything.

Cosplaying hipsters ruined steampunk. It's neither punk nor steam nowadays.
Why do they even insist on calling their clockwork prep steam punk?
>>77394087
Because it annoys you specifically.

There is a *punk for everything in the world and everyone of them is completely niched and financially unsustainable.

Yep, "stonepunk" is a thing.
Yep, Flintstones is claimed to be it.

Only worthwhile one itt outside of Cyperpunk, and the one's a I like,adding Punk at the end is really creative for the most part, at least in my opinion. Spy-Punk, is that a thing?

I don't know, it doesn't sound legitimate. It should be vaporwavepunk.
Is there Banepunk?
>>77387400
See, my problem with steam punk is that a lot of the stuf you get has no reason to be on there.
I can understand why it might look cool to have a bunch of gears powering a thing, but if said thing didn't need that kind of thing to begin with, then into the trash it goes.
BioShock Infinite's mechanical Patriots were a good example of where a bunch of gears look cool and serve a function and even though it bombed, the Golden Compass was a good example of how to steampunk without being too obvious or obnoxious, though admittedly there were some electricity and futuristic elements present as well.

i don't get why this is so popular but maybe i just got old
>>77395559
I dunno. Seems like it'd be a big subgenre to tackle
>>77391700
I don't think that's a very appropriate comparison. Cyberpunk is an entire subgenre, a pretty diverse one at that, whereas steampunk is more or less completely style/gimmick based.
>>77392365
Diesel is just fantasy
>>77392056
that's how girls are actually dressing now, i think it's actually trendy in L.A. and they add filters to their pictures so they look older and i get confused as to if they're actually old pictures. but then i see starbucks and call phones and shit like them wearing weed socks and i get they're being ironic in the hipster sense.

Dieselpunk is retrofuturism.

Blade Runner wasn't cyberpunk. It just codified the aesthetic that would later become synonymous with cyberpunk.

Punk means rebel. All these subgenres are not so visually bound as theme bound - personality versus society. Each time period has its challenges and threats versus a generally conservative protagonist:
- steampunk / industrialisation
- dieselpunk / corporations
- cyberpunk / globalization
- biopunk / transhumanism
>>77390921
Your mind doesn't work very well.

Really adored that comic. Read it over and over while working at a library in high school...
>>77393238
Google vaporwave and 80s revivalism.
And fuck no. What we need is less of this shit. People completely forgot what the fuck they were trying to accomplish with it at around 2012.
This is actually a good example of steampunk in mainstream media
>>77396252
I would argue that pretty much the only one of the bunch that really capitalizes on the "punk" part of the term is Cyberpunk. Blade Runner and all that. Too often, the other *punks are just for visual flair rather than strong thematic storytelling.
Still, I would very much like to be proven wrong.
(Forgot the cover pic)
I'll shamelessly plug my little webcomic. I say it's retro-futuristic 'cause I'm not big on -punk terminology, but it's a setting similar to Brazil's so I guess it counts?
I've had a few hiccups here and there 'cause I've just started, but it's going to update 3 times a week. Any feedback is welcome.

I've never played the games ( but do have a vague sense on what happens) but does the new game fit at all with steampunk??

How are goth and steampunk even remotely related?
>>77396515
I was talking about defining works, not genre kitsch. What makes a piece of fiction an art? Not style over substance that's for sure. Exploring themes of human, society and technology interactions in stylized backgrounds makes genre not an excessive amount of accessories on characters.

>Cyber Fiction
But the punk in Cyberpunk actually has meaning. It means every character is living in the gutters and has silly neon hair and stands up to the man and probably won't survive until they're 40.
Well either that or they ARE the man and are pushing silly, hopeless guttertrash around.
Anyway, the punk guttertrash is usually part of the setting.
>>77397236
That doesn't really answer my question, though.*poseur
>>77387680
Seriously though does anyone know where I could lay my hands on issues of Hex, that shit looks badass.
Is the setting punk? If yes, then yes it's punk.
Is X the reason for why the setting is punk? If yes, then it's X-punk.
>>77398129
Thanks, i am not an english speaker.
Steampunk is "dark" in a sense that all machinery and science are considered dark, especially in retro settings. It is also smarter and less common then gothic in teen subcultures. So a poseusaur can be cool, unique and totally not sheeple simultaneously satisfying the need of superiority by being smarter and more mature then goth self with all those gears and nerdy stuff. Old corsets, chains, glasses, victorian dresses are easily convertible - just gear it up. I hope this answer your question.
>>77398489
There were also the neo-Victorian styles that formed a part of the 90s/00s Goth scene.
>>77397688
Everyone in cyberpunk being some strung-out gutter rat is the same thing as everyone in steampunk being a brass-plated fop.

>Everyone in cyberpunk being some strung-out gutter rat is the same thing as everyone in steampunk being a brass-plated fop.
Not that anon, but it really isn't. Obviously cyberpunk has it share of one dimensional crap, but punk is a real-world thing, y'know? It's actually a meaningful appellation. Gibson used punk characters as a statement, not a stylistic choice. I can't think of any steampunk works where the foppish aristocrats were representative of real-world plutocrats, it's always a fantasy modelled after the period literature about gentleman adventurers. Cyberpunk is science fiction.
>>77396252
>- dieselpunk / corporations
Nah, cyberpunk is much more focused on coorperations. Dieselpunk's pretty diverse. Gangsters, corrupt government, and war are all pretty common though.
>>77399045
>Gibson used punk characters as a statement, not a stylistic choice.
You know Gibson wrote one of the seminal steampunk novels, right?
>>77399138
Explain how that's relevant.
>>77399305
>Explain how that's relevant.
"The Difference Engine" is about the social changes that might have occured if Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace kicked off the Information Age in the 1800s - and the social mores that would have stayed the same.
It's basically a cyberpunk story in the age of steam.Steam. Punk. Hmm...
>>77399396
... and?
>>77399465
His choice of character backgrounds in the novel are a statement, not a stylistic choice.
Alternately, Gibson's use of punk characters in cyberpunk are a stylistic choice reflecting his belief that cyberpunk is "high tech, low life."
>>77399305
You said he did (thing), and then went on to say that (thing) never happened in steampunk. But since he actually wrote a steampunk novel -- a pretty important one, at that -- the whole idea doesn't really parse.
Either he failed to use characters as real-world stand-ins to make a statement, or your broad dismissal of steampunk as a shallow, style-over-substance fantasy is (at least partly) wrong.
>>77392743
>I think what people fail to realise is that a lot of the "glue cogs on shit" steampunk set are just having a laugh with it. It's all very tongue-in-cheek. They're making silly art and wearing it, and they know it's silly.

One of the three steampunk pieces of media that I actually enjoy.
The other two being Steamboy and Arcanum
>>77399641
Neuromancer et al are science fiction novels, to at least some extent social commentary, and telling the story from the perspective of the disenfranchised anti-establishment washouts is absolutely part and parcel of that social commentary. I haven't read Gibson's alternate history stuff, so I can't comment on it really.
>>77399677
Your logic a shit, I said he did a certain thing in his cyberpunk works. That has no bearing on his steampunk and what he did or didn't do in it. To be fair I won't begrudge the subgenre a few good works, I just haven't experienced any and stand by my general assessment. The "steampunk" moniker refers to a cheap style, not to any kind of ideology.

Have you seen Jasper Morello? It's the first /co/ suggestion that comes to mind. It's on YouTube, but the quality there isn't great.
>>77400337
Look. You dismissed the subgenre, and in the same breath, praised one of its authors. It sounded like you were unaware, so I pointed it out.
If you like Gibson, it follows that you might enjoy something else he wrote. That's the takeaway here.
>>77400832
I was unaware, and I'll probably check out The Difference Engine at some point, thank you. It's just that even if I like it that won't change my opinion about the imitators.
>>77387465
I like the aesthetics of steampunk but every work of actual steampunk fiction I've ever experienced has been very meh.
Dieselpunk on the other hand, is underrated as fuck.
>>77396691
Not really. There are a few weapons ahead of their time (the rope launcher, Voltaic bombs, hallucinogenic darts) but the Assassins have always been using technology the rest of the world hasn't figured out yet. Generally speaking it's just Victorian-era resources being used to hunt alien artifacts.

Any thread about dieselpunk will rapidly switch to people bashing steampunk along with long and repetitive arguments about the nature and use of the suffix "-punk."

>>77401362
The superhero genre isn't explicitly dieselpunk but they have the same roots. Golden Age stuff, particularly modern pastiches, are pretty much dieselpunk.
>>77389820
I say clock-punk is more Renaissance-era clockwork tech. The Victorian era was equal parts clockwork and steam power.

>Also what's the difference between guard and defend and protect?
Guard and defend are more offensive, protect is purely defensive. Guard also seems more stationary and less moral compared to defending.
>>77401351
Dieselpunk is my favorite of the retrofuturistic subgenres followed by atompunk.
I think it's because of TaleSpin and a genuine love of kitsch
can we just get some examples of different punk/postmodern/old-technology-doing-magic-shit genres in comics going? I'll start with what I know to be good, which is mainly manga as I've read more /a/ than /co/
