Steampunk is a design style inspired by Victorian-era industrialism. Science fiction author K.W. Jeter is created the term steampunk in 1987 to describe a style of fantasy fiction that featured historic Victorian technology, especially technology powered by steam. Steampunk embraces the values such as etiquette, individualism, and exploration that defined these eras and motivated the characters in steampunk works. Moth Symbolism resonates with a deep spiritual pursuit, meaning the element of fire, which is passion, illuminates the mind eternal flame of truth. Based on the Victorian era style, clocks and pocket watches represent advances in technology at that time but with a flare of unique creative decoration. Because of this rich and varied heritage, Steampunk can meld the looks of the time with far more fanciful ideas, and often incorporates clockworks, lace, militaristic themes, brass and copper, wood, leather, and various other materials and themes available at the time, or that we imagine COULD have been available at the time. Most often when drawing from the Victorian era we think of the late 1800s, but the Industrial Revolution ran from roughly 1750 to 1850, and many innovations that lead to Victorian fashion came about in the mid-1800s, while Victorian styles outlived Queen Victoria herself by a good eleven years or so, not really fading until 1912, well into the Edwardian era. I feel, therefore, that there's a lot more we can draw upon, from across Victorian and Edwardian England and the frontiers of the British colonies and United States. Modern influences often come from the Goth, Punk, Rivethead, Gothic, and Lolita fashion styles, and industrialized elements related to machinery, inventions, and those who build or handle them come in, often adding a more ragged or warped element.
