New Romantic - 1981

1981 – the year when the New Romantic movement peaked! Colorful outfits, extravagant hairstyles, and a mix of synth-pop and glamour made this scene truly unique.

Bands like Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and Visage shaped the sound and style of a new generation. It was the perfect fusion of art, fashion, and music – rebellious yet elegant. New Romantic was more than just a music style – it was a way of life! Perhaps the most exciting start to a new decade?

We reported on this a long time ago. The video is so revealing that it is now getting our attention again.
