Justin Bieber Steampunk Christmas Video

Did Justin Bieber effectively kill Steampunk for the rest of us?  The teeny bopper prince of junior pop has taken the look mainstream and happy for the masses.  While I love some of the sets and costumes, (kudos to the designers) I just feel that Steampunk was always a movement for artistic, edgier, fringe, visionaries or romantics.  The thought of Steampunk being something that will be mass-marketed by huge corporations is a little creepy to me.  Am I being cynical?  

What do you think of the video?  Watch it here and discuss...
