*Steampunk is a little harder to define, and we do not think we can do it justice. Consider the word blue. Blue is a color, and many things are blue, but no one thing is definitively blue. You can also feel blue, sound a blue note while playing the blues, and talk a blue streak. Steampunk is a lot like that, with as many definitions as people who use it. Here is one slightly less evasive definition.
