I don’t think I “get” steampunk

It’s a mix of “ol’ timey” nostalgia combined with a bit of a “wild west” feel. The movie Metropolis of course had a lot to do with it, but the Cyberpunk movement was probably where it first really came from. Making things all future-y and yet ancient at the same time, like elves in space (Vulcans).
I’m not that into it either, but I always thought it was an interesting twist on things, though I guess a bit overdone.
Really, all you need to do to make a Steampunk outfit is a pair of brass-rimmed goggles and some leather boots. Trench coats and hats designed in the late 1800s help too.
