For anyone interested, and since the question has been raised, here is some information about Steampunk.

From wikipedia-

Steampunk is a subgenre of fantasy and speculative fiction, which came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history–style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles or analog computers; these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or a presumption of functionality. It is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.

Excerpts from the article "What then, is Steampunk?" by the Catastraphone Orchestra and Arts Collective (NYC) in Steampunk Magazine Vol. 1, Issue 1 2007:

Steampunk is a re-envisioning of the past with the hypertechnological perceptions of the present.

First and foremost, steampunk is a non-luddite critique of technology. It rejects the ultra hip dystopia of the cyberpunks— black rain and nihilistic posturing—while simultaneously forfeiting the "noble savage" fantasy of the pre-technological era. It revels in the concrete reality of technology instead of the over analytical abstractness of cybernetics. Steam technology is the difference between the nerd and the mad scientist; steampunk machines are real, breathing, coughing, struggling and rumbling parts of the world. They are not the airy intellectual fairies of algorithmic mathematics but the hulking manifestations of muscle and mind, the progeny of sweat, blood, tears and delusions. The technology of steampunk is natural; it moves, lives, ages and even dies.

Authentic Steampunk is not an artistic movement but an aesthetic technological movement. The machine must be liberated from efficiency and designed by desire and dreams. The sleekness of optimal engineering is to be replaced with the necessary ornamentation of true function. Imperfection, chaos, chance and obsolescence are not to be seen as faults, but as ways of allowing spontaneous liberation from the predictability of perfection.
