Steampunk is not a music genre but is an aesthetic genre that posits
that 1890s type technology based on steam continued and that the
styles of decorative machinery such as elaborate wrought iron legs on
machinery and gleaming oversized brass knobs and dials were still
used. *It is the mad scientist/lone inventor mythology applied to
modern implements.
This guy does it very well:http://steampunkworkshop.com/
In Steampunk, one never calls an object by a common name but by a name
that the supposed crazed inventor calls it, thus a radio would be an
"Aetheric Wave Modulator" or similar. *Steampunk crazies always wear
cobalt blue goggles to protect their eyes from the radiation their
devices produce.
Clearly the result of reading too much Jules Verne and H.G. Wells.
excellent!
