Steampunk

Nancy Nall doesn't like steampunk. And techno. Her commenters are either bemused by it or think it interesting. As for techno, many weighed in with rockist comments on its supposed lack of authenticity.

For the record, I've taken an interest in steampunk since the mid-2000s, as it was emerging in the mainstream. As with anything, it can be taken to extremes.

More later.

1 June update: Techno is one of Detroit's homegrown genres. It could be that Nancy Nall and her commenters are confusing techno with other electronic music. But I remember writers in Sassy who spurned techno in favor of alternative rock.
