+stephen burns: The term 'Steampunk' wasn't known until 1987 when it was coined by the science fiction writer K.W. Jeter in a letter to his publisher. Jeter wanted to offer an alternative to the popular genre of cyberpunk, but set in a fictitious past ( specifically the age of steam or the Victorian era).
Of course, steampunkers say that the style started with the writings of HG Wells and Jules Verne (the grandfathers of science fiction and for good reason). Still, the term did not appear until Jeter coined it. The best way I often hear how steampunk can be described is "where science, technology, and the future appeared to be in the Victorian style."
an along those same lines from a historical view steampunk is not just Victorian science fiction it has people like me who restore an run steam engines an we've been around alot longer than 1987
really if you think about it steampunks have been around for alot longer then that I've restored industrial art from the 1900 to 1920 that could be classed has steampunk

Very interesting!
You don't know what the hell steampunk is. You just throw garbage together and put a price tag on it.
