The New Romantic phenomenon was similar to that of Glam Rock during the early 1970s, in that (male) New Romantics dressed in Effeminate clothing, often with frilly " Fop " shirts, and wore Cosmetics . David Bowie was an obvious influence, and his 1980 single "Fashion" could be considered an anthem for the New Romantics. However as with many art school-based youth movements, by the time this 'anthem' was pronounced, the movement itself, although successfully projecting many new stylish futuristic ideas and visions (with lots of various references to sci-fi), had been seized upon by commercial forces, and watered-down versions were being cheaply reproduced for the High Street . There was also discernable difference in emphasis and mood, from the frenzied screeching of Slade roaring "Coz I Luv You" to the more ethereal languor of Visage and their "Fade to Grey". The main difference from Glam , however, was that instead of Guitar Rock , the music was largely Synthesizer -based Electropop music (German electronic-music pioneers Kraftwerk were another significant influence), intelligently introducing plenty of innovative and experimental sounds. Rhythm machines were also widely in use. In the mid- 1990s , New Romantic was briefly revived as a movement called Romo .
