>It wouldn't be anything like that.They would be - at best - ignoring established genre conventions.
Anon. Cyberpunk defined the genre by evoking a specific feel with its lore and esthetics of a specific era in time(era defining things i might add as well), the 1980s/early 1990s (punks, rock n roll, corporate greed/power, Japanese economic hegemony, massive leaps in tech. Some of this is political too btw.)
Steam punk on the other hand is trying to do that with Victorian/enlightenment/early industrial age but glossing over the era defining things of those ages (social ,economic and political upheaval) to focus on Steam, cogs, tophats and corsets. It's why despite the cookyness of the genre its bland and shit.
