The Steampunk genre has branched out to become much more than futuristic science-fiction type movies and novels. These days, you can find the Steampunk style in everything from fashion to scrapbooking supplies, from jewelry to home decor. Many people enjoy dressing up in retro Victorian-style clothes for Steampunk parties and events, as well as for Halloween and Cosplay fun.
