Is this really any different from the New Romantics of the early 1980s (for example)?https://twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1150329084695797760 …

Largely in that the 90s killed that freedom dead. But yeah, the 80s were a lot more liberated than the 1990s or 2000s
Well, these sorts of things are cyclical - young people like to think their interests, concerns, ideas, etc., are different from anything that's been before.
(Bit of a generalization, admittedly! 
)

I think coming out of the 70s was a large part of it in the UK Nothing to lose meant little risk to being whoever you wanted to be When we all had money and stuff by the 1990s, there was more at stake I suspect youth "liberation" follows a wider societal perception

Maybe. New Romanticism was probably in part a reaction against the grit & grime of very early 1980s. It's a complex picture, though.
