Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction and sometimes fantasy that incorporates technology and an esthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.
CLOCKPUNK
Clockpunk portrays Renaissance-era science and technology based on pre-modern designs, in the vein of Mainspring by Jay Lake, and Whitechapel Gods by S. M. Peters. Examples of clockpunk include Astro-Knights Island in the nonlinear game Poptropica, the movie Hudson Hawk, the game Thief: The Dark Project, and the game Syber.
DIESELPUNK
Dieselpunk is a genre and art style based on the aesthetics popular between World War I and the end of World War II. The style combines the artistic and genre influences of the period (including pulp magazines, serial films, film noir, art deco, and wartime pin-ups) with retro-futuristic technology.
CYBERPUNK
The relevance of cyberpunk as a genre to punk subculture is debatable and further hampered by the lack of a defined cyberpunk subculture; where the small cyber movement shares themes with cyberpunk fiction and draws inspiration from punk and goth alike, cyberculture is much more popular though much less defined, encompassing virtual communities and cyberspace in general and typically embracing optimistic anticipations about the future.
ELFPUNK
Elfpunk is subgenre of urban fantasy in which traditional mythological creatures such as faeries and elves are transplanted from rural folklore into modern urban settings and has been seen in books since the 1980s including works such as 'War of the Oaks' by Emma Bull. 'Gossamer Axe' by Gael Baudino, and 'The Iron Dragons' Daughter' by Michael Swanwick.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS. I SEE YOU THE NEXT TIME.
