Description
Of course, the majority of Goths are unique in their style and music preferences. However, within the subculture there are certain "types" of Goth with particular characteristics. And it can be fun to classify them. Naturally, classifications for each "type" vary from person to person, so you may disagree with what I say here!Here it is, at last, by popular demand - the Steampunk Goth
I did want to write more on this one, but my Goths are getting larger and larger every time I draw them, so I'm getting less room for writing. I think they'll eventually have to break out of their 500 x 500 pixel frame.As with all my work, this is copyrighted. Do not use it without my express permission.

I find it kinda interesting. Kinda reminds me of a Old West version of Victorian.

The Old West WAS the Victorian era...same tie period, just two different countries.
This style is called Steamgoth actually. It's literally just steampunk with a lot more black and dark colors, as well as Victorian goth influence. :3

I have suspection that steampuk already grow into a lone subculture (with music scene)
And why not. The world of zeppelines, steam-powered time machines and drinking tea with Β¨rounded glasses on is so charming.

I really would love to dress like this, just the case of getting it past my parents and of course actually buying the clothing....

is right, so is
Steampunk is not part of the goth subculture, and there is a music scene.
.....
just.... *sigh* ok no ranting.... It really isn't, mabe once it was, but it has become it's own creature. And you missed one of the main influances for Steampunk.
Jules Vern, I gurentee you half of the Stempunk's out there are also Vernians.

This is a crossover kind of individual between Steampunk culture and Gothic culture just as the Deathrocker is a Punk and Goth combo.

One of my very good friends, who was an original Goth, and is now more of a Corporate Goth with an appreciation for Steampunk, told me once that Steampunk is what happens when Goths discover the color brown. I know that it's much more than that, but it always gives me a giggle to think about.
I just discovered your little series via Pinterest, and I love it!

This is a pretty good summary (from what I know of Steampunk style and culture). It is difficult to write about Steampunk, as it is s variable - even more so than other alternative styles/lifestyles.

My friend is really into this style of goth. Not so much dressing like it but he likes to build odd things and he is good at making things with metal, wood, and leather. He also went to collage to become an electrician. So making stuff for steam-punks is his passion. Some of his stuff sells very well. He recently sold a very cool cane for $400.00.

My favorite type of goth.
Steampunk for the win!

I love steampunk. Problem is though, they don't sell the clothes in stores and online is expensive, so DIY is what most people do. It sucks if you have no talent with a sewing machine though (like moi.) xD

I love Steampunkstuff but ItΒ΄s a shame that the most people buy the stuff and donΒ΄t make it by there own.

I love your little series of goth types, they're so adorable!

I Love that style, and the art is awesome! + Fav

Your first paragraph in particular is really apt.
i.e. I think you're onto something with the idea that Rivetheads + Victorian Goth = Steampunk.

I LOVE Emilie Autumn

I'm torn between Rivethead and Steampunk myself, but Steampunk just has that special something that tips the scales for me. And if EA is Steampunk, then that seals the deal.
I absolutely adore your goth stereotypes series! Very well done. I've thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of them. Keep up the good work!

Emilie autumn is a fashion all her own. her own style she incorporate steampunk but she herself is more victorian burlesque.

Well whatever the label, we are in agreement that she is absolutely amazing.
P.S. I like your avatar. The silhouette/lighting/coloration combine to be quite eye-catching. *raises teacup high*

Funny I came across this. I'm writing a book with a Steampunk-Gothic setting, though it's more along the lines of two cultures at odds with each other in some cases.

I'm sorry but steampunk isn't goth at all. Some people add goth elements to steam punk, but on it's own it is not.

I would totally Steampunk out my house if I could afford it.

Nevermind my last comment... I have no idea what I was thinking about.

I've just noticed something you wrote wrong here. Steampunk is not related to the victorian time era at all. The Victorian time was in the 18th century - and steampunk style is more like late 19th century/early 20th century. I've been reading a lot about steampunk lately, so...
π: 0 β©: 1
mmmm you are kinda wrong. Steampunk DOES relate to the victorian era it was the victorian era where industrialixation came in steam pwered machineery.....but yes it does reflect later styles. If you see alot of steampunks at events well *i am steampunk* you see alot of victorian influence.

I know; I accidently wrote it before doing some research. I am ashamed, I was wrong; but I can not remove the message, because DeviantArt is too evil to let me.

i love steampunk but im not creative enough to make the attire. you should make one for the casual goth

Dr. Steel is also steampunk-inspired artist.

Steampunk isn't a goth style. It's all on it's own. It's a part of the rebellious style types. But all in all a good description. Steampunks are adventurous btw.

it kinda is- I am a steampunk victorian goth- both steampunk AND victorian goth use victorian and essentric styles. But yess victorian goth is more funeralistic victorian but they are similar. but yes steampunk is different but lately the two subcultures have been blending ALOT

I lied. This one is my favorite (though Victorian is up there). And if I had the money, creativity, and/or ability to obtain these clothes, I would (didn't know it had it's own name -.-;

I love these! I like to incorporate a lot of different styles to make it my own
