  Romanticism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romantic nationalism, the argument that each nation had a unique individual quality that would be expressed in laws, customs, language, logic, and the arts, found an increasing following after 1848.
In the 20th Century Russian-American writer Ayn Rand called herself a romantic, and thought she might be a 'bridge' from the romantic era to an eventual esthetic rebirth of the movement.
Early Romantic nationalism was strongly inspired by Rousseau, and by the ideas of Johann Gottfried von Herder, who in 1784 argued that the geography formed the natural economy of a people, and shaped their customs and society.

 New Romantic
Despite the fact that the New Romantics were themselves more often than not kids who had fallen loosely within Punk's broad domain, they now emerged in a sense as antiPunks, substituting the elegant for the slovenly, the precious for the vulgar, Dressing Up for Dressing Down.
Among the New Romantics were hundreds of talented clothing designers, musicians and club entrepreneurs who never quite fulfilled their promise in the straightjacket of Punk but who now forged a link between streetstyle, club culture and popular music which remains in effect to this day.
Indeed, perhaps the greatest accomplishment of the New Romantics was the extent to which they brought the media within their own control - prompting the launch of a new breed of 'style magazines' such as i-D and The Face which, for the first time, gave club culture and streetstyle the credit they deserve

New romanticism emerged in the UK music scene in the early 80s as a direct backlash against the aus­terity of the punk movement.
The coming of age of the video as a promotional tool was important to the development of new romanticism as were the outlandish haircuts (A Flock of Seagulls) the frilled shirts (Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet) and the fact that men could be seen wearing mascara (practically everyone involved).

The new romantics were the narcissistic children of glam rock.
More than any other post-punk genre, the new romantics relied on style and glamour above all else; they often flaunted an image of the ostentatious '80s via heavy make-up, supermodel girlfriends, over-the-top music videos, and clothing that could best be surmised as excessive.
