Rising from the nihilistic ashes of the punk movement in the late 1970s, a fresh crowd of flamboyant fashionistas, who would later be christened the New Romantics, began to materialize on the streets of East London, England. As the punk scene began to dissipate, the New Romantics took over. It was a lifestyle. It generated art, fashion and music, later inspiring acts such as Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet. TRAMPS!, a documentary by Kevin Hegge, tells the story of the New Romantic scene and its increased prominence. But Hegge isn’t interested in any famous figures. Instead, he interviews the personalities who are often neglected from this story. Today the New Romantics are seen as a definitive counterculture in British history, and this film is a terrific demonstration of why.
