Good video. More informed about Steam Punk now than I ever was.

Its simple and not as confusing as people think it is. Its just, World War 2 Science Fiction/Fantasy. Thats it. People get caught up in the whole U.S vs Germany thing but there are plenty of portrayals of other nations and factions that were in world war 2, once again I will harken back to Mutant Chronicles, as well as Iron harvest, and I'll throw in Full Metal Alchemist for good measure. All may not incorporate diesel but a dirty secret is, war is more important than diesel in dieselpunk. The war has happened and we are feeling the side-effects there of, war is going on and the bombing is on the horizon, or we are on the edge of our seat's because it can go off at any minute. This is the looming shadow of the genre. Steampunk doesn't need a war, dieselpunk does, probably because it is inspired by a era defined by war.

Love the video! Very informative.
Please make more!
The more modern day defender or definer of the Diesel Punk genre would be a video game called Frost Punk, I think. (I’ve never actually played it so I could be totally wrong, but I’ve seen lots of people making the case that it’s Diesel Punk for video games. Or, so they say.)
I would argue that Disney’s Tale Spin which was a cartoon, and a damn good one, was a GOOD Disney version of Diesel Punk. That’s just my take on it, but it feels like it could be a good foundation for what diesel punk could really look like and could be.
It’s certainly not Steampunk.
Love the history and thoughts though.
Perhaps someone will come along and make Diesel Punk an actual genre one day. I would argue that to do that, they need a proper understanding of the military as a institution, of soldiers, and of industrial societies, whether they’re in a war or not, or in a war zone, or not.
Try the Troy Rising books by John Ringo. That one gave a real good story about industrial base, industrial visionaries, military logistics and the people on all levels of that sort of thing, from front lines to top lines, to media, to bottom lines. Great story, and is relevant to your topics of world building, industry, logistics, and good story built with or around it.
All that said, loved your video, love your work, want more!!!!!
