An Unique Style of Punk ---- Steampunk

Compared with those crazy punkers, steampunk as a unique fashion style has its own story and background. Instead of trying to create a buzz in the crowd with a bunch of mad ideas, steampunk is a conservative style with a basic concept of being functional and decorative at the same time.

Steampunk as the name indicates, is inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century. It is a quite newly-appeared term which put its emphasis on steam-powered machinery. This term contain a wide range of meanings not only in western fashion style but also in western literature, art and music and a couple of more fields. When it comes to clothing style, it stands out by the unique machinery style, the bronze color, a little military feel and some punk feeling. Compared with the dark goth and sweet lolita, it is much more temperate and more easy to adapt to the general social appetite.
