Since we somehow have looped out into early80s land the past couple
days, I have a terminology question for the P2 Braintrust, re: a story
I'm editing: Who and what were the British "New Romantics" (which I've
sometimes seen spelled "Neuromantics")? I'm sort of vague on whether
that means, say, Siouxsie and the Banshees, or Spandau Ballet. And I'm
specifically wondering whether Japan (aka David Sylvian and friends)
woulda counted as New Romantics, and if not what they did count on?
I was a bit too young at the time - or perhaps just too far from any
hip geographic locations - to keep track.
