new romantic
Last updated:
Description
New Romantic emerged in early 1980s Britain as a glamorous reaction to punk, blending synthesizer-driven pop with theatrical fashion and art school aesthetics. The sound featured lush electronic textures, danceable rhythms, and romantic lyrics delivered with dramatic flair. It celebrated style and escapism, influencing both MTV-era pop culture and the broader synth-pop movement.
