Come discover the early beginnings of steam-powered machinery with us and browse inventors' and workers' clothes on the EMP Steampunk Online Shop. Take a break from your smartphone and explore a world of Steampunk culture in all its glory.


A descendant and co-development of the punk scene, the steampunk cult movement officially began in the 1980s. Composed of the words "steam" and "punk", these two terms have their own meanings, "punk" meaning to go against the flow, rather than with it, and "steam" referring to the age of steam machines. Steampunk fashion incorporates aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery, coupled with Victorian morals and values and the style often associated with the time.


Steampunks have a strong philosophy of adventure, romance, a "DIY" mentality and a very characteristic taste in music. This includes bands and musicians such as Steam Powered Giraffe, Professor Elemental, Victor Sierra and Doctor Steel, who have all massively influenced the scene.


You can live your very own Steampunk life and look the part thanks to the EMP Online Shop. Browse the Steampunk pages and find a wide range of clothes, accessories and jewellery for a unique and personalised look for parties, clubs and any other occasion! Equip yourself for a Steampunk festival, like Aethercircus or Steampunk World's Fair thanks to the huge choice on offer.

Take a look at the range of quality crafted steampunk clothing, including dresses, backpacks, corsets, skirts, shirts, glasses, trousers, boots, tops and much more. Show the very best of the mechanical world and the Victorian era and set an example for Steampunks.


Steampunk variations


The term "steampunk" is generally considered to be a genre that includes several sub-categories that differ in their representation, technical qualities and temporal components.





Teslapunk


Teslapunk is a subgenre of steampunk that is influenced by electricity rather than by steam. Teslapunk's name is derived from Nicola Tesla, an inventor and physicist in the field of electrical engineering.


Dieselpunk


Dieselpunk is understood to represent the change from steam-based technology to diesel-based technology.


Atompunk


Atompunk is a further concept that represents the replacement of steam engines by nuclear power.


Clockpunk


Clockpunk doesn't stand for steam energy, but for watchmaking mechanics and timepieces, as the name suggests.


DIY Steampunk


This way of life is all about recycling, repairing or rebuilding old technical equipment and DIY Steampunk fans love creating their own clothes!


Gaslamp fantasy


Gaslamp fantasy differs from steampunk as it is less progressive and has less of a super-science edge.


Steampunk Goth


Steampunk Goth is a very impressive steampunk spin-off. Just like with steampunk, steam-powered machinery and the Victorian way of life are central to this subgenre. Discover a world of accessories and fashion from renowned brands on the Steampunk Goth Online Shop. From Brandit to Vixxsin, as well as Alchemy Gothic and Gothicana by EMP - we have some labels that can offer you an impressive and extravagant mix of steampunk costumes and Gothic style technology and aesthetics.
