Steampunk Month

Is this why I'm starting to see steampunks everywhere. Since this aesthetic/way of life was brought up in class, I've been seeing it everywhere. On the street, in bars, at art and media events. I thought at first that it was one of those things that I just hadn't noticed until it was mentioned, and now that I know about it, I'm seeing it everywhere. But if October is a month devoted to steampunk, then I guess I feel a little less insane.
