I think Robotech has a lot to do with my love of mashups, crossovers, and genre-bending.
This is probably the only reason why the combination of idol singers (including crossdressing idol singers), space opera, and the post-apocalypse make complete and total logical sense to me.

And the term "Protoculture" meaning "proto-culture" rather than "magic energy thing" makes more sense.

Was there a crossdressing idol singer in Macross?

And I dunno about protoculture. Growing up in a car-dependent city like L.A., the whole galactic energy crisis and the desire to reverse engineer advanced technology made a lot more sense to me than the idea of harvesting nascent civilizations.

And Macross never really seemed as post-apocalyptic as Genesis Climber Mospeada did

Plus the whole trope of Admiral Rick Hunter as some Arthurian archetype really captured my imagination.
