Description:

London, 1979. From the rubble and ashes of punk, a new cult movement of young people was emerging. Taking intense inspiration from David Bowie, Roxy Music, and Kraftwerk, this new collective, which the press began to call the New Romantics or the Futurists, abandoned punk's archaic claims to authenticity and protest in favor of glamour, makeup, dress-up, and dancing. Their hangout base was the Blitz Club, a small wine bar on the edge of Covent Garden. It was here that the next generation of British pop stars were born. A young Boy George ran the cloakroom, and the host and doorman was Steve Strange of the future Visage. Bowie gathered extras for his videos from here, and Mick Jagger was denied entry.
