Steampunk (from English steam "steam" American English punk "lousy", "worthless", taken for granted "punk") is a phenomenon that first appeared as a literary trend in the 1980s and has developed into an art genre, a cultural movement, a style and a subculture. On the one hand, modern and futuristic technical functions are combined with means and materials of the Victorian age, creating a distinct retro look of technology. On the other hand, the culture of the Victorian age is presented in an idealised form. Steampunk thus falls into the realm of so-called retro-futurism, i.e. an idea of the future from the perspective of earlier times. Steampunk thus refers to a time that never existed. It is a fantasy world that has the basic idea: how did people around 1900 imagine the future?
