Steampunk has become a huge thing, but when did it BECOME "SteamPunk"? At what point did "Fantasy" and "SciFi" which take place in the Jazz Era, become Something MORE than Victorian writers, writing "SciFi" and Fantasy"? Where did the phrase "SteamPunk" come from, in the first place? Come explore and discuss how we got from there to here.
