Steampunk

This game has a steampunk setting, so expect to wear top hats and smoking jackets.

Airships are a common trope in steampunk works.

Her underwear was a bit too steampunk for me.

The game takes place in a steampunk world.

About my conlang Vling, maybe I just like the word 'bog'. My other favourite English words are 'whirligig', 'tumbleweed', 'serendipity', 'gargoyle', 'jelly', 'storm', 'ambiance', 'steampunk', 'logogram', 'gazebo', and 'thistle'.

One of my favourite Japanese anime is the franchise Violet Evergarden, which is verily of the Steampunk genre.

Speculative fiction includes the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, superhero fiction, alternate history, utopian and dystopian fiction, supernatural fiction, dieselpunk, and steampunk, as well as combinations of those mentioned.

One can consider Esperanto as a Steampunk language, whilst Interlingua as a Dieselpunk language.

In the Japanese Steampunk anime Violet Evergarden, characters use a language that has its own strange alphabet, for which there is a typewriter.

In The Mystic Archives of Dantalian, a Japanese Steampunk anime, there is use of a Pseudo-Latin language, which reminds me of Interlingua.

There's railroad trains, a lot of steam-driven stuff, but that's about it. More ‘steam punk’, I suppose.

It is also the vision of steampunk, a subculture that is the aesthetic expression of a time-traveling fantasy world, one that embraces music, film, design and now fashion, all inspired by the extravagantly inventive age of dirigibles and steam locomotives, brass diving bells and jar-shaped protosubmarines.

The [Arboath North Signal Box] locking room's collection of chains, pulleys and wires resembles the inside of a piano, stretching to the 72-levered frame above. Lovers of steampunk will find it especially pleasing.

Personally, I think Victorian fantasies are going to be the next big thing, as long as we can come up with a fitting collective term for Powers, [James] Blaylock and myself. Something based on the appropriate technology of the era; like steam-punks, perhaps...

It wound up being an overwhelmingly positive experience that made me appreciate the steampunks around me even more.

It is extremely rare that you speak to someone who says "I want to be an ...." This would suggest that for the vast majority of steampunks their choice of outfit (at least intitially) is less a conscious attempt at portrayal and more of a spontaneous and potentially subconscious growth of an idea.

[Director Paul W.S.] Anderson's answer to the question of what to update in this film seems to be: steampunk everything. Hence the elaborate airship contraptions and weapons, all made in wood and iron and powered by choo-choo engines. What seems to be missing is the why. When far-fetched techno-bits and bobs are put into a story, these items must have a meaning and purpose. Here, the gadgets are throwaway items used for their visual effect, then discarded.

There is also a strong draw on literature and film for ideas. Some steampunks will take a favorite character, such as Boba Fett, Alice, Dorothy, Professor Snape, or Sherlock Holmes, and “steampunk” him or her out by adding elements of leather (or faux leather), gears, clock parts, electricity, motors, and so on.
