New Romantic Movement

The New Romantic Movement was a cultural wave in the late 1970s and early 1980s characterized by a focus on fashion, glamour, and individuality. Originating in the UK, it was a reaction against punk's rawness, emphasizing artful styles, elegance, and fantasy. Musically, it included bands like Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet, blending synth-pop with theatrical performance. The movement also influenced fashion, favoring bold colors, and dramatic looks. Overall, it celebrated self-expression and escapism, merging music, art, and fashion into a vibrant cultural trend that left a lasting impact on pop culture.
