I love discovering trends and genres that I have previously been completely blind and ignorant to. The most recent discovery that I have made, now don’t laugh, is SteamPunk.
Yes, Steam put right there next to the word Punk, which gives us Steampunk. For those of you who aren’t aware of what Steampunk is here is a short definition:
Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that 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 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 and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.
Here are some images to help your imagination get started on the idea of Steampunk:
