New Romanticism
New Romanticism (also called Blitz kids and a variety of other names) was a pop culture movement in the United Kingdom that began as a nightclub scene around 1979 and peaked around 1981. Developing in London and Birmingham, at nightclubs such as Billy's and the Blitz, and fashion boutiques such as PX in London and Kahn and Bell in Birmingham, it spread to other major cities in the UK and was characterised by flamboyant, eccentric fashion.
Several music acts at the start of the 1980s adopted the style of the movement and became known to epitomise it within the music and mainstream press, including Visage, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, and Boy George (of Culture Club). Ultravox were also often labelled as New Romantics by the press though did not exhibit the same visual styles of the movement, despite their link to the band Visage.Japan and Adam and the Ants were also labelled as New Romantic artists by the press, although both refuted this and neither had any direct connection to the original scene. A number of these bands adopted synthesizers and helped to develop synthpop in the early 1980s, which, combined with the distinctive New Romantic visuals, helped them first to national success in the UK, and then, with help of MTV, to play a major part in the Second British Invasion of the U.S. charts.
1989 (Taylor Swift album)
1989 is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on October 27, 2014, through Big Machine Records. Swift began preparing for the album during the same year that Red was released, and during a significant amount of media scrutiny. Over the course of the two-year songwriting period, she primarily collaborated with producers Max Martin and Shellback—Martin served as the album's executive producer alongside Swift. The album's title was inspired by the pop music scene of the 1980s, particularly Swift's birth year.
The album represents a sonic departure from the country music of her previous albums, and is described by Swift as her "first documented official pop album." In contrast to Swift's previous work, the production of 1989 consists of drum programming, synthesizers, pulsating bass, processed backing vocals, and guitars. 1989 received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics and it was ranked as one of the best albums of 2014 by several publications, including Billboard, Time, and Rolling Stone.

Neuromantics
by: Dope Stars IncWhat is abuse? It's something I can say
I'm in a mood to clear my head today
A new reality that connects through my brain
But all in all that's the way I need to cut my pain
It's the hardest dope
And then all around is black
It's the hardest dope
And then all around is dead
It's the hardest dope
That turns your head around
That makes you dream and drown
In all the world abound
In a way it's the best drug found
After the cure there's nothing I can say
My head is full of words without a weight
The art of confusion is to keep all the minds estranged
But all in all that's the only way to cut my pain
It's the hardest dope
And then all around is black
It's the hardest dope
And then all around is dead
It's the hardest dope
That turns your head around
That makes you dream and drown
In all the world abound
