Collection: New Romantic

New Romantic emerged in the early 1980s as a flamboyant and visually striking offshoot of the post-punk movement, blending elements of fashion, art, and music. This genre is characterized by its lush synthesizer soundscapes, dramatic vocal performances, and often androgynous aesthetic. Drawing influences from various subgenres, New Romantic incorporates the catchy pop sensibilities of New Wave, the dark and atmospheric tones of Gothic Rock, the avant-garde experimentation of Italian New Wave, and the electronic textures of Soviet Synthpop. The result is a captivating fusion of styles that emphasizes romantic themes, elaborate costumes, and a sense of theatrical grandeur. New Romantic artists typically explore themes of love, alienation, and social commentary, set against a backdrop of infectious rhythms and sweeping melodies that capture the essence of 1980s excess and glamour.
