The first thing you come across after typing in Steampunk in to google will be wikipedia although it cannot always be relied on as this information can be edited by any one there for making it difficult to be trusted, it douse give a very good starting point and definition to what exactly Steampunk is:
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s. Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc.
