In case you don't know: the steampunk movement is about glorifying all things entwined with Victorian/Edwardian science fiction. Playing on the ideals of such writers as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne, steampunk enthusiasts like to marvel in wonderment of what it would be like if 19th century technology were created with the insight of 2010. Steampunks also tend to geek out over Ren-Faire-esque role-playing of old-timey characters, while they gather amongst their own and spout shaky Victorian accents.
