Steampunk

Description

Steampunk music often combines elements of industrial, folk, and electronic music, characterized by a Victorian-era aesthetic with modern technology. It may include orchestral elements, mechanical sounds, and anachronistic themes.

History

Steampunk as a cultural and artistic movement began as a subgenre of science fiction in the late 20th century, inspired by the works of authors like Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. The music genre emerged as artists began to create soundscapes that mirrored the retro-futuristic themes of steampunk literature and fashion, often incorporating historical instruments with modern production techniques.
