A screenshot of a website badly optimized for mobile: when The Steampunk World's Fair got started around 2009, there was no specific set of rules for how you were supposed to act at a Steampunk event.

Come As You Want, Wear What You Desire ...given the freedom, there are always going to be people who show up in everyday clothes - or even show up in work uniforms or something even less fun for them. And they're welcome.
