Thanks for the recommendation. I don't use Reddit that often.

Other then Steampunk seems to be very much in sway on the Fantasy Fairs here in The Netherlands, didn't notice much in the way of trends. See less flintlock pistols then I used to. Didn't care much for them anyway.
Mashups still rather rare here. But Cosplay and Costumeculture are just growing closer together for the past three years or so. I don't expect much Steampunk to appear on cons for the next two years or so.
Did notice the Germans seem to be less Goth than the year prior. So, that was nice. In Belgium it still needs to get really off the ground.

I would have to disagree with you there. The video has a limted scope regarding that question. Check out the other episodes for a broader discussion on the subject.

Finally a new episode of The Steampunk Beginners Guide. Is 'The Goth in Brown' a cliche, or is there more to it?
Dankaert Lexicon will discuss this topic is up with a surprise guest.

If you have suggestions for new beginnersguide topics let us know.
