Is it Steampunk enough?

Steampunk has become very popular recently and this has meant lots of "artists" have jumped on the bandwagon and tried to make money off the trend.


Dude, really?


To make sure your product is an authentic Steampunk inspired piece: take some time to look at some truly awful examples of "Steampunk" projects helpfully compiled from the folks over at Regretsy (a satirical take on the website Etsy).


Once you've had a good chuckle, lets get analytical!


Is your product Steampunk enough?

Collect some samples both good and bad and compare them against your design
* What makes the products on Regretsy bad examples of Steampunk?
* What makes the examples you've chosen good examples?
* Do you think your design is a good example of Steampunk?
* Does it share some common elements with good examples of Steampunk costumes?
* Can anything be improved?
