I’m not sure if I understand what steampunk is. Please explain. Also, is it the same as “steam horror” which I saw mentioned in a comment on Instagram?

Answer: steampunk is an imagined alternate reality in which steam based technology wasn’t outcompeted by electricity and internal combustion engines.
So rather than electronics you have lots of boilers, valves, pipes and gears permeating all of technology. Electricity is stuck on an old stage, with Leyden jars and such.
Steampunk embraces showing off the internal construction of stuff. You don’t have sleek devices like an iPhone. Everything has lots of details, moving parts and visible innards.
Airships also tend to be prominent.
