New Romantics

New Romantic was a New Wave music genre and fashion movement that occurred primarily in England during the early 1980s. The genre emerged after the London punk scene had come to an end, with former members of the movement splintering into the New Romantic, Gothic rock and postpunk movements. The main musical and stylistic proponents of the New Romantic movement were Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Adam & The Ants, Visage, and Ultravox, especially during the period from mid-1980 to mid-1982.
