Wandering on myspace I found bands linked to from steampunk groups. I've never really heard their type of music before and was wondering if there's an actual steampunk genre? Some are listed as neo-victorian synthy pop etc... but I don't really know.
Groups like this I found are:
Abney Park
The Clockwork Dolls
Flood of Rain
Steampunk Genre?

I don't think that it really has a musical genre, honestly. I think that it's more of a visual and lyrical choice than a particular song style.
This is an oft-debated subject amongst steampunks, actually.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

Hmmm so maybe it's more of a movement suck as Visual Kei is, rather than a genre. However, maybe it is cause after all there's power metal which focuses on fantasy and mythology. Why not have a new genre to focus on steam punk? lol
Anyways it's nice to hear something different.
