I don't think the suffix "Punk" was any significant meaning with this genre. I think it's just an homage to the term "CyberPunk" which is a slightly earlier Science-Fiction genre. SteamPunk adopted the moniker with "Steam" being the dominant form of technology instead of Cybernetics. Several other science fiction genre's have also used the "Punk" suffix - CyberPunk started it all.
