Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures that have developed from the aesthetics of steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, art nouveau design, and films from the mid-20th century. [14] Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk. [15] History [ edit ] Precursors [ edit ] Print (c. 1902) by Albert Robida showing a futuristic view of air travel over Paris in the year 2000 as people leave the operaSo how did steampunk artists realize the potential of combining those tropes in their media? And why are they so prevalent in these retro-futuristic worlds? Fantasy in Steampunk Themes The American fantasy animated sitcom, Disenchantment, created by Matt Groening for Netflix, features a steampunk country named Steamland, led by an odd industrialist named Alva Gunderson voiced by Richard Ayoade, first appears in the season 1 episode, "The Electric Princess." [133] [134] [a] The country is portrayed as driven by logic and is egalitarian, governed by science, rather than magic, as is the case for Dreamland, where the protagonist, Princess Bean, is from. [135] The country has cars, automatic lights, submarines, and other modern technologies, all of which are steam-powered, and references to Groening's other series, Futurama. [136] [137] Steamland appears in three episodes of the show's second season, [b] showing an explorers club as part of the country's high society, flying zeppelins, and robots with light bulbs for heads that chase the protagonists through the streets. [138] [139] Some even argued that Steamland is " dieselpunk-inspired." [140] Video games [ edit ]

The main antagonists of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart are a group of rogues led by a sky pirate named Orangusnake. Though in the first episode the heroes destroy his ship's power source and crash it into the ground (along with sending most of the crew overboard), so one of his goals from then on is to get it airborne again. Lafitte, among others, would even raid cities on the East Coast of the United States. However, after the fall of their influence, piracy in the form of the outlawed slave trade remained quite prevalent. As such, the Navy spent quite a bit of time trying to eradicate the ships involved in this nasty business during the later years of the 19th century. The film's protagonist has a secret identity and is known to the world as Filibus and has an airship. Some called the film "an odd and funny forerunner of science-fiction movies," [46] with Filibus described as a lesbian character, [47] [48] and an "elegant and elusive woman pirate" who can pass between male and female identities, making her "a champion of transgenderism before that term had been coined."

Karel Zeman's film The Fabulous World of Jules Verne (1958) is a very early example of cinematic steampunk. Based on Jules Verne novels, Zeman's film imagines a past that never was, based on those novels. [108] Other early examples of historical steampunk in cinema include Hayao Miyazaki's anime films such as Laputa: Castle in the Sky (1986) and Howl's Moving Castle (2004), which contain many archetypal anachronisms characteristic of the steampunk genre.
