Title: Seapunk?
Post by: Radiation on October 24, 2013, 03:25:02 pm
I may be late to this trend but I came across this word after viewing one of Azaelia's music videos and was wondering what the hell it is. Apparently it's a hipster scene but I haven't found out if it's a new trend or it's dead or what. Apparently it's big on tumblr and I don't use that website (The SJW thread scared me off of joining it.) so I was wondering if someone there can shed some light on this thing and what it is really? Might be a new thing for me to get in to.

Seapunk seems like a real stretch of the (x)punk way of naming things. Steam, diesel, cyber, and apoc punk all have a much more defined concept. From What I saw on the wiki page this is just anything bluish and aquatic themed. When I heard the term the first thing that came to mind would be a post-apocalyptic scenario involving a world covered mostly by water. (There's a movie based on that, right? Waterworld or something?) This sounds like dumb asses trying to have a cool name for "aquatic themed".

To me, the name "seapunk" sounds like nautical themed steampunk. I was a little disappointed when I looked it up and discovered that was not the case.

My mind went directly to steampunk pirates, maybe with Jules Verene-est submarines thrown in for good measure.

And steam-boats with very hip poker tournaments.

Like a steampunk "Little Mermaid."

That would be kind of awesome actually.

My mind went straight to Bioschock.  I haven't looked up the term yet to see if I'm close.
