The idea is this, Imagine the digital revolution never happened, or in extreme cases electronics full stop and that victorian style technology continued to evolve up until now. That's steam punk. Some types rule out transistors, silicon IC's etc, and therefore technology based on valves (or tubes as americans call them) continued on. Games like Fallout 3, could be classed as kind of steampunk, and films like mutant chronicles (based on a board game).
Chracteristics are steam power, tubes, big cogs, brass and iron, victorian styling etc etc.
In a very broad sense the awfull will smith film "wild wild west" is steampunk

I have not checked in for a while and look what I have missed. This is an absolute work of art, pure and simple. A person that doesn't use a straight razor would get it. Absolutely wonderful!
