Early 80's subculture with popbands dressing in fancy clothes and playing elegant synthpop (electropop) with romantiscising lyrics about love and loss in glamorous settings. Short-lived (1979-1984), altough it was set to be the "next big thing" in popmusic.
The biggest bands where Japan, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Visage and Ultravox. Other bands included Classix Nouveaux, Hipnosis (who where an Italo disco-band but looked very new romantic), Modern Romance and swedens Lustans Lakejer (Vanity Fair outside of Sweden) and Strasse.
New romantic later evolved into the infamous "yuppie pop" with bands like Johnny Hates Jazz and Spandau Ballet and Duran Durans more soul-inspired late 80's albums.

Get the Senatus populusque romanus mug.A darkness loving, very emotional aspect of the gothic culture. Poetry and lace are highly valued, as well as corsets, velvet and coffins. Many are inspired by Victorian fashion and vampires. Very ghostly and dreamy.
Sat in the pew of a Church, tying a new scrap of black lace around a new self inflicted wound, while singing in Latin and attempting to read another's palm at the same time.

Get the romantic goth mug.A hopeless romantic is a person who believes in all the little things about love, despite painful burns and heart shattering scenarios. And even after all this, deep inside won't give up on the idea that true does exisit. A well intentioned heart who seems to find love in all the wrong places but who's heart never spoils
Or
A hopeless romantic is someone who in spite of either always being turned down or not being able to find someone truly compatible with them still gives effort into the attempt to find themselves a romantic connection.

A Hopeless Romantic really reminds me of movies like Serendipity, where they find little signs that they are meant to be together, that fate and destiny do play a role in our lives.
