The Wikipedia article does describe steampunk as a high-profile example.

Also interesting to note the two non-distinct forms of retrofuturism: "the future as seen from the past" and "the past as seen from the future". Steampunk is an example of the latter.

Renditions of things described by Jules Verne could be considered both "the future as seen from the past" and "Steampunk"
Or working models of Babbage's machines!
