Virgil Briggs (Samuel Crowe) replied to Hayen Mill's discussion 'Dieselpunk's Roots (from waaaaay back history)'
"I wouldn't agree with you at all. If Dieselpunk and Steampunk were tied to music so heavily then, I would think, there would have been more musical influence earlier on. Both generes have been around since their respective eras imagined higher…"

"I'd state DS runs from 1900 to 1945. The next phase would be Atomicpunk IMO, which would incude the whole red scare and early cold war era up to the eding of the Vietnam war. Not much interest after that though. I'd love to delve into…"

"No DS Halloween party. They pulled those outfits together for Steamcon last October in Seattle. Unfortunately, work and the scope of my project kept me from going with them to Steamcon. They tried to apply some historical "accuracy" to the…"

Virgil Briggs (Samuel Crowe) replied to Hayen Mill's discussion 'Objective/Subjective Dieselpunk definition'
"Starting with the Steampunk wiki definition is a good place, just do the appropriate word swap.
Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era…"

"Poison Ivy in 1997 Batman seems kind of a weak point to symbolize the difference between Greenpunk and Dieselpunk. I just read what Greenpunk is and I'm not that impressed. Steampunk and Dieselpunk were around before they were labelled, Jules…"
Virgil Briggs (Samuel Crowe) replied to Jonny B. Goode's discussion 'The cars your parents drove'
"Maybe not my parents, but my grandfather had some great cars an old 40's DeSoto that was his every day car. He also had a 37 Checy coupe that wasn't in the best of conditions. I got to drive the Chevy one year in our small town parade.…"

Virgil Briggs (Samuel Crowe) replied to Hayen Mill's discussion 'Objective/Subjective Dieselpunk definition'
"I think it's almost impossible to define what is and what isn't. The best you can hope for is to find people that have a similar vision and pull the same things from the real time period as you for inspiration. These things can take so…"

Well hello there
I thought it was time to join up since I'm boldly marching forward from the steam era into the bright future of diesel. I've been doing the Steampunk stuff for over a year and took the big dive into Dieselpunk with my Rocket Cavalry project about four months ago. All I can say is Jules Verne is cool, but pulp heros kick some major butt. I'm looking forward to sharing some fun ideas with all of you.
