Stop calling everything "punk," dammit! The reason the term cyberpunk appeared was because it fused high technology with low grit and classic punk themes of rebellion and anti-authoritarianism. Then steampunk took what cyberpunk did and applied it to a Victorian setting, also maintaining the punk atmosphere (either in the lawless western-themed American-set steampunk or the class struggles and other social conflicts of Europe). But not everything labeled steampunk is really steampunk. I think most of it (with the very notable exception of Thief) is better labeled as neo-Victorianism, with its focus on fantastic applications of nineteenth century technology and style but without the, well, punk. And everything post-steampunk is 99% certain to not contain any punk whatsoever.
