I think a major difference is that Steampunk is more of an aesthetic movement (decoration, clothing, accessories), while Goth is more of a philosophy, even if it's become more of a fashion statement now that it's moved more into mainstream. There *are* many overlapping elements in both, though. Like... Jules Verne versus Bram Stoker (notice they were writing in the same years!). _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
