As I have no idea what Steampunk is would someone be good enough to give mean idea/explain it.

Is it just dressing a certain way or is it centred around something else.

I had a bit of a search but nothing seemed to explain it.

Thanks

Motorhome since 2006 (caravanning 38yrs)
Seems to be all based on the mechanicals of the Victorian/Edwardian age and the costumes of the day.
Dressing up for fun.

Yeah I got the theme of the clothes etc just didn’t know if there was more involved.

We like jive and will dress in that era clothes at say Retro Festival.

With steampunk your in a world where Victorian society diverges from what we have today,so the world will have steam driven modes of transport as the norm,airships are the main air transport,steam trains for long distance land transport,a mix of horses and steam carts/omnibus for local transport,gentlemen will tend to be well dressed (top hats etc) and sometimes carry a sword and/ or pistol ,ladies in formal dress but plucky heroines might carry a pistol and use it to defend their honour 😀,the underclass will tend to be very much as you would imagine the Victorian east end would look and behave with various ruffians ,scoundrels and street toughs praying on the honest working class.
Hope this helps🙂
But if you read try some ,there are many ripping yarns out there😀😀😀

When I google it I gathered it was about steam driven times etc.

What i didn’t discover was it just a dressing up scene and meeting like minded people or something else driving it. Like a certain type of music etc.

I did see something said about tales to be read but I’m not much into books etc.

Just curious what it’s all about 😊

Lusky i think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick.

I’m genuinely interested in what the “scene” is all about.
So I thought where better to ask than Funsters.
