Oddly, there is a considerable overlap between Chap-Hop and [[Steampunk]] music, despite the differences between the two aesthetics. Line 18 ⟶ 20: * [[Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer]] * [[Professor Elemental]] * [[Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire]] (aka "Pikedevant") is frequently counted among Chap-Hop performers. Indeed, his premiere song, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFCuE5rHbPA "Just Glue Some Gears on It and Call It Steampunk"], is Chap-Hop and has been frequently misattributed to both Mr. B and Professor Elemental. But he is as much or more Barbershop and/or Victoriana in style, as well as pure Steampunk. * Poplock Holmes & DJ WattsOn * The Fellows Line 35 ⟶ 37: [[Category:Music]] [[Category:The New Tens]] [[Category:~~Genre Motif/~~Hip Hop]] [[Category:Music Genres]]
