The "punk" in Cyberpunk comes from the dystopian take on the material. Steampunk began as a variation on Cyberpunk, so it inherited the dystopian "punk" element. As a genre though, Steampunk has branched out quite a bit and in most cases no longer deserves the term "punk". But the name is tight and catchy, so it has stuck.

Thanks for the recommendations too guys! Keep 'em coming!
