What is Steampunk?
Steampunk is set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used; usually the 19th century, and often set in Victorian era England, but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date.

We want to bring together the music that helped shape various subcultures - without the psychedelic and soul music of the 60's, Punk in the 70's never would have emerged. And in the same manner, Punk influenced the development of the music styles, New Wave and Deathrock/Gothic in the 80's. Which, of course, influenced the Alternative music of the 90's.
