I was 13 years old back then when the New Romantics fashion movement exploited. Their fashion, sense of style, the music, the attitude, it was such an amazing moment and such an inspiration for me. I was obsessed and tried to copy the clothes, makeup. Begin to listen to bands like Human League, Soft Cell, Ultravox, Visage. Then Culture Club with the one and only Boy George came for me, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode... I discovered David Bowie, the legend...All of the above defined my youth, my teen years and more...I loved Electro music to the fullest...Thank you New Romantics, thank you 80s...thank you thank you thank you....🙏💕💖

The movement didn't really catch on here in the US, but some of us did follow it from a distance. We bought the records on import and read the UK music weeklies, which arrived in our stores up to a month after the publication date. The movement was very inspirational!

I was a part of the 90 NYC club scene when I was 18 well into my 20s. Back in the 90's I went Limelight in NYC, Palladium, The Tunnel...to name a few... Very very similar style ....you couldn't get into most clubs if you weren't in some of self made costume. Yea, looks like we copied the Blitz Kids. LOL! It was a great time. The music was amazing. It was always judgement free..... America pretty much copies another generations style and revamps it. The problem with my club scene is most of the clubs closed by 2000 or before because the drugs got a tad bit out of hand. If anyone wants a taste of it you should read James St James book Disco Bloodbath.....its a great read.

Media coverage of new youth movements is always so hilarious. Britain underscores it with jaded, prim stuffiness, America frames it in concerned PTA member moralising. The kids may come off looking like they’re going through the latest fad, but the adults always make the most pathetic impression.

What's crazy is that i ended up watching a short piece on a singer that was from Jamaica that married a man who built a hotel, and music studio there. Tonight, I saw this and wondered what happened to that 20 year old, Jon Baker. It turns out he is the man who built the hotel and had the Jamaican singer as a wife. Amazing how things come full circle.

One thing I am VERY GLAD about is that they have banned Smoking in all clubs all over the world! As a Musician and Non-Smoker I always HATED that! My cloths would STINK when I got home! And I had to take a shower EVERY time I went to a club! If I went to a club just to dance or listen to music with friends, I would often get burned by stupid drunk people with their cigarettes in their hands or mouths ON the dance floor while they danced! I guess they thought it made them look "COOL" Or "TRENDY" or "GLAMOROUS" but to me they just looked stupid! And it also started to make my entire drum kit look dull and dingy so I would have to clean my whole drum kit, Drums, Cymbals, Stands... Everything, EVERY week after I played somewhere!

interesting how people nowadays like it. Back then men who dressed that way were usually made fun of for being "queer" and also wearing make up and looking flamboyant and pretty wasn't accepted for men. People want to go back to that time because of rosa tinted glasses, truth is your average guys back then weren't new romantics or pretty boys, lmao.

i spent the late 80s through 90s clubbing and obsessing over the New Romantic scene and the early Death Rock scene, and hating the actual 90s goth scene i felt trapped in. so i am no expert on the New Romantic scene as i wasnt there, because i was across the world in the U.S. plus i was 9 in 81. so i admit i dont know who a lot of these guys they are interviewing are as i only know the faces of the scene. but it still feels weird to me that they seem to be mostly interviewing a bunch of reasonably normal looking guys while all these people standing behind them are done up to the nines.
