Agreed, it has always been a sub genre of post industrial retro deconstructivism… it only got a name after the a few cyberpunk sci fi authors wrote a retro novel and the critics dubbed it steam punk. It will hit a big uptick in the next couple of years. Just look at last years tube amp iPhone dock speakers from Samsung. I don’t think they did well in the marketplace, but I think they were maybe 12-24 months too early.
