Steampunk broke off from cyberpunk in the 1980's. Steampunk touches many areas including but not limited
too science fiction, alternate history, speculative fiction, Victorian era,
steam power, anachronistic technology, gaslight romance, and Mad Scientists!
The genre and culture is due to its
involvement within a world where steam power is the primary source of energy,
hence, Steampunk. Although, the steam power ear is usually in the 19th
century it does more often then not have futuristic technology. *Rubs
hands together evilly* This is were you can picture the Mad Scientist in
her laboratory creating dirigibles, parasols that spray poisonous gas, and
corsets that don't pinch.
Cyberpunk and Steampunk are closely
related and influence each other a great deal. Lets just say that the
biggest difference that distinguishes the two would be that Steampunk tends to
have less dystopian settings.
Steampunk
is truly a growing movement as the concept develops. The fashion is just
so becoming. It tends to take the height of Victorian fashion mixed and
fused with various looks of today. Incorporate a few gears and cogs,
military garb, ray guns and technology pieces. Look forward to
petticoats, corsets, parasols, & goggles!
