That...works. Thanks!
Christ, whoever named that deserves a slap across the head.

^ But just as Steampunk is a setting-wide technology of steam, so would Scavenged Punk, right?

I don't even know what punk means anymore.
It's a synonym for smurf. ;-P
Yes, Scavenged Punk should be a setting trope, not just a personal appearance or personality quirk trope. Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
Punk is an aesthetic and philosophical movement partly rooted in Existentialism and partly rooted in Postmodernism. It has no single simple meaning, but can be roughly understood by an idea proposed by William Gibson:
Humanity is at its best in "cities where you can weld on the sidewalk"- places where society is just orderly enough to build infrastructure and bring people and resources together to spark innovation, but not so organized that busybodies and corrupt power-players begin stifling creativity and industry.
Humanity is at its worst, meanwhile, in "cooked cities": stagnant, dying places that have become so rulebound and orderly that there's no room for people to do weird things and injustices are entrenched in lumbering Vast Bureaucracies in ways that can't be fixed without a total overhaul.

^ Was Steampunk like that, too?

A character wears distinctly non-jewelry items as if they were jewlry. This can be either just throwing them on (a gear worn as a ring, a smalp chain as a necklace, etc) or MAKING jewelry out of junk.
Do we have a specific trope for this?
