I don’t know, a lot of steampunk seems to have that dystopian aspect where the bad guys are oppressive rulers and the good guys are the rabble. I don’t see how that isn’t punk.
It’s certainly possible to write a punk story in a steampunk setting, but from all the steampunk media I’ve encountered (and I was very much a fan of it years ago, and still enjoy it today), most of the time it’s chosen as an aesthetic choice or as a backdrop for alternate history.
I’d be interested to hear any recommendations you have of steampunk works that focus on the punk angle, though, if you had some in mind.
