A plea to jewelry makers
Dear Jewelry Makers and Craftspersons,
Steampunk is lame. Please stop disassembling perfectly good old pocket watches and other such antiquities in order to make your incredibly lame jewelry. It pains me to see it. Also, it brings up the question “How ‘punk’ is anything that refers back to early railroads, pocket watches, and other appropriated antique gadgetry?” For your consideration…
Thank you,
CBF
PS. If you don’t know what I’m referring to here, please go to Etsy and keyword search “steampunk” under handmade tags and titles, and you will understand.

Thank you for saying what I just never have the courage to say. Steam punk is a brutal waste of materials time and effort. Stop destroying antique technology to build shitty technology so that neither will age gracefully.
steam punk is not punk!
