Steam Punk

It's at least twenty years old, and I still see it around sometimes.

Shabby Chic is even older! I have affection for Spanish Colonial. I suppose you are not referring only to decor.

I know a group of sixty-somethings who have just recently gotten into the steam punk thing. It's definitely over.

I heard an old Thomas Dolby song yesterday and was thinking of this very thing, His whole look and aesthetic was prototypical steam punk back in 1982.

There was a steam-punk-y Smashing Pumpkins video in the 90s.

I think Titanic had a hand in the influence as well.

This:

The Smashing Pumpkins released a music video for their 1995 single, "Tonight, Tonight", highly inspired by Georges Méliès's film A Trip to the Moon.
