OK, "Steampunk" (the word) is the bastardised offspring of two innocent words - and sounds like something muttered by way of an insult by the AntiHero in some off-beat movie.

It's funny, but 15 years ago it was known (briefly) as "Victorian Retro-style". 20 years ago it was "memoraphilia". 30 years ago it was "£$%^&* old-fashioned stuff". 40 years ago it was "that old junk".

And just 5 years ago it was simply "retro".

I tend to call it "retro-future"style.

Whatever ..... I like it.

I don't care what it's called (provided that I can google for the term). And now I'm going to go and plan out some brass and copper case mods for one of my computers. ;)
