Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that features steam-powered technology and is often set in a 19th century Victorian era or Wild West setting. The term "steampunk" first appeared in 1987 but refers retroactively to works from as early as the 1950s-1960s. Steampunk also refers to artistic styles and subcultures inspired by Victorian-era fiction and mid-20th century films that modify modern objects in a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style. Since the 1990s, the steampunk label has expanded to include fantasy worlds relying heavily on steam- or spring-powered technology seen in role-playing games and films from that era.

2. ͓History͒
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that
typically features steam-
powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired
by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th
century. Therefore, steampunk works are often set in
an alternative history of the 19th century's British
Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-
apocalyptic future during which steam power has
regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that
similarly employs steam power.

4. Ethimology͒
Steampunk may also, though not necessarily,
incorporate additional elements from the
genres of fantasy, horror, historical fiction,
alternate history, or other branches
of speculative fiction, making it often
a hybrid genre. The term steampunk's first
known appearance was in 1987, though it
now retroactively refers to many works of
fiction created even as far back as the
1950's or 1960's.

6. Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing
fashions, or subcultures, that have developed from the
aesthetics of steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, and
films from the mid-20th century. Various modern utilitarian
objects have been modded by individual artisans into a
pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a
number of visual and musical artists have been described
as steampunk.

9. Alternative worlds, computer
games
Since the 1990s, the application of the steampunk label has
expanded beyond works set in recognizable historical periods, to
works set in fantasy worlds that rely heavily on steam- or spring-
powered technology.
Fantasy steampunk settings abound in tabletop and computer
role-playing games.
For example:
• Skies of Arcadia,
• Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends,
• Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura.
• And also gnomes from World Of Warkraft

10. In music and films
Steampunk has also appeared in the work of musicians who do
not specifically identify as steampunk. For example, the music
video of Turn Me On by David Guetta featuring Nicki Minaj takes
place in a steampunk universe where Guetta creates human
droids.
A lot of films basic on steampunk was created in 1990s, for
example:
• The Wild Wild West
• Back to the future, Part III(some elements in the end)
• BBC series of Doctor Who(time machine)
