Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction. Typically modified steam-powered machinery, artistic styles, clothing fashions and cultures are exemplified in an 19th century British Victorian era or American "Wild West" setting. The sub-genre is inspired by an industrialized Western civilization that took the course of an alternative history after the society had discovered steam-power.
Additional elements from the other genres such as fantasy, horror, historical fiction, alternate history, or other branches of speculative fiction may also be incorporated within a Steampunk story.
