I did punk to New Romanticism with probably a bit of new wave in between ,although my music range is eclectic I still don’t mind sticking on Machine Gun Etiquette at full blast
I remeber Japan,Visage and early Human League as being at them forefront of it all with others jumping on the band wagon like Spandau Ballet ,Ultravox etc
You have to remember this was a scene with certain ringleaders (Steve strange and pals) with some now well known faces / bands hanging around in the right places.
The same happened 10 or so years earlier with punk with Vivienne Westwoods/ Malcolm McClarens shop sex being a hub for people to meet share ideas form bands and whatever, many of the folk of the day just all moved in the samecircles
