Romanticism may seem as if it's dead but in all reality it is still alive. Millennials definitely try to get freedom from tradition and social conventions but also they focus on the individual experience. Women are now taking on positions that used to be only for men. There are so many movements such as the "Me Too" movement where women are sharing individual experiences of sexual assault but they are using their stories to gain their freedom from the social norm of sexual assault and express the flaws of society. This movement also focuses on strong emotions because it takes someone having to be very vulnerable and opening themselves up to be a part of this movement.
This is a perfect example of a more modern take on Romaticism. Especially with the Me Too example because, for obvious reasons, that was not a typical movement associated with Romaticism but does share extremely personal experiences.
