In early material (the Neo-Classicists affected angular Themes ) and the frank expression of personal sentiments. The neo-Romantics position is an Esthetic one purely, because technically we are eclectic. Our contribution to contemporary esthetics has been to pose the problems of sincerity in a new way. We are not out to impress, and we dislike inflated emotions. The feelings we really have are the only ones we think worthy of expression.... Sentiment is our subject and sometimes Landscape , but preferably a landscape with figures." (Hoover and Cage, 1959)

According to Daniel Albright (2004), "In the late twentieth century, the term Neoromanticism came to suggest a music that imitated the high emotional saturation of the music of (for example) Schumann [ and Neoclassicism (music) .

In pop music, neoromanticism strongly influenced Gothic Music and the Goth Subculture .
