I thought Steampunk had been mainstream for a really long time..? ^_^;;;

Ehhhhhhhhh....'mainstream' as in an accepted part of the Goth underground and alternative fashion and 'mainstream' as in tweens hanging at the mall wearing goggles and necklaces made out of watch gears are two different things. I have yet to see the latter yet, but I have a feeling it's not far off...
