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

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.
