A possible definitonSteampunk, while it incorporates

nostalgia, is not a “Retro” movement. Its differing factor is that Steampunks do not return to the past and live the life

as it was, they want to go back to re-imagine the past’s future–and live in that in the present. They re-imagine a future

that includes beauty, manners, elegance, innovation, and steam and to a large

extent, they are making it.Sally Applin in “Steampunk: Making The

Future“

Another possible Definition

Steampunk is what Wells and Verne have wirtten about... Taken into

Overdrive.

History

“Steampunk” as a term was coined by K.W. Jeter in 1979. Movies and novels now belonging to the genre have existed a few years longer.

The Steampunk boom came about with the internet.

In the Beginning there was Cyberpunk

So what is Steampunk?

- Everything I talked about

- some things I did not talk about

- ask 10 Steampunks, get 15 opinions

SO:

- Does it vaguely fit what I was talking about?

- is it fun?

“Yes” to both?

Well done! Steampunk!
