@RadioRetrofuture as I understand it, and I am a lamen, so take this for what it is, I think it is essentially Gaslamp Fantasy's American cousin. The setting is typically one analogous to the age of Colonialism or American Expansion in the West. And of course, one of the main things within the world is the use of gunpowder. There also seems to be a willingness to experiment with creature creation within the world.
@@RadioRetrofuture I had thought Weird West was more alternate history as opposed to alternate world. Either way, more educational content is always a plus!

I am always amazed when something that relates to steampunk that I’ve never heard is shown. Gaslamp Fantasy? Quite interesting. Feels as though it is the beginning of steampunk.
I agree that Steampunk is similar to the Cyberpunk genre. But wheras cyberpunk is an adversarial reaction to the modern corporate dystopia, steampunk is an adversarial reaction to the industrial dystopia. For example steampunks take pride in hamd-mase and one=off things, rather than anything industrial. both are counter-cultures, exemplified by dress, slang, and culture. Gaslamp fantasy is not a counter-culture but is firmly implanted in a pseudo-Victorian society 9or t least our oft-mistaken modern interpretation of one based on our experiences of old people). And whilst many fantasy tropes (such as magic) are often invoked, the core fantasy genre of a journey into a new world (real or philosophical) is still a central theme, whether this is magical, scientific (usually based on weird super-science), or simple a voyage to strange lands 0with an emphasis on the strange) via more mundane methods.
Another great breakdown!
Gunpowder fantasy next?
Thanks.
But, what is Gunpowder fantasy.

Usually that is called Weird West. On that I should do a video.

I'm going to make a video on the genre the was a precursor to steampunk. ;)
There was a precursor?
Can’t wait for the video, then!

At the end of the day the "punk" part of "steampunk" is there for a reason
2:36 fuck no!
basicly is a same thing 😂
