Treasure by Bruno Mars.. Romanticism in the 21st century

We usually see Romanticism in music, literature or art. For example in the song, Treasure by Bruno Mars, some of his lyrics are, "Treasure that's what you are Honey, you're my golden star." Romanticism is often connected with one's self being touched by or reaching out to the stars. Mars borrows the romantic comparison of his desired other with a star in his song, this is exposing the influence of the romantic era in his music. 
Romanticism is relevant in today's culture, although I do believe that in today’s society the basic principles behind it have been forgotten/undervalued.
