"John really enjoys being around Erika, but he won't ask her out because he's convinced himself that any relationship would inevitably crash and burn. He's such a cynical romantic."

A Hoeless romantic is someone who wants true love from the opposite or same sex so bad yet they have no sex appeal so they are so used to getting turned down from any & everybody due to lack of confidence. They never have anyone to call or even to flirt with meaning they are completely hoeless and no one would ever want to date someone without at least one hoe. This person just loves the idea of love with someone but as long as they are hoeless they are hopeless & sit alone at a dinner table imagining romance that they will never attain.
He is always talking about wanting a relationship but no one is attracted to him." Well i guess he will forever be a Hoeless Romantic.

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.

romantic garbage when you’re capable of giving and receiving love often, but none of it really means anything to you and you just end up harming people you once “loved”
Guy 1-“honestly all of my relationships were just romantic garbage”
Guy 2-“ what do you mean
Guy 1-“ that I never really loved any of them and I just felt bored and uninterested the whole time
Guy 2-“oh.”
