新浪漫主义时代是自六十年代以来最具创造力的创业时期之一，它源于后朋克的残余，与俱乐部文化、斯卡舞、电子乐、哥特舞一起迅速发展。这一景象对印刷和广播媒体的发展产生了巨大的影响，可以说是二十世纪末最波西米亚的环境之一。它不仅在以视觉的形式定义了这十年，而且是第二次英国入侵的催化剂，当时美国的排行榜被英国流行音乐所统治——使其成为自披头士以来最强大的文化出口之一。

在《甜美的梦》中，迪伦·琼斯通过亲历者的见证，记录了新浪漫主义的兴起。

One of the most creative entrepreneurial periods since the Sixties, the era of the New Romantics grew out of the remnants of post-

punk and developed quickly alongside club culture, ska, electronica, and goth. The scene had a huge influence on the growth of print and broadcast media, and was arguably one of the most bohemian environments of the late twentieth century. Not only did it visually define the decade, it was the catalyst for the Second British Invasion, when the US charts would be colonised by British pop music - making it one of the most powerful cultural exports since the Beatles.

In Sweet Dreams, Dylan Jones charts the rise of the New Romantics through testimony from the people who lived it.

For a while, Sweet Dreams were made of this.
