Steampunk

Origins

Steampunk is a visual style inspired by Victorian-era fashion and industrial steam-powered machinery. It combines the aesthetics of the 19th-century with futuristic elements, creating a world that is both nostalgic and fantastical. The style often incorporates brass, gears, steam, clockwork mechanisms, goggles, and other elements reminiscent of the Industrial Revolution. Steampunk often portrays an alternate history where steam power remained the dominant energy source, resulting in a uniquely retro-futuristic look.
