* For music listening, vinyl fans tend to lean toward the Romanticism side, with claims that vinyl records sound "warmer" than digital music, as well as citing large album artwork along with the "ritual" of putting on an LP and flipping it over. [[UsefulNotes/CompactDisc CDs]] and other digital files are very much on the Enlightenment side, with their lack of surface noise, distortion, and playback degradation as well as greater portability, but proponents of vinyl claim that digital audio sounds "cold."

*** In ''Perelandra'', the same villain has flipped to the Romantic side, obsessed with a universal life-force that is "beyond good and evil" and getting all Byronic/Neitzschean/Wagnerian, trying to convince the heroine that rebellion against God is a good idea.

* ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' and ''ComicBook/SubMariner'' are an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to one another and occupy opposite sides of the Romanticism vs Enlightenment spectrum. Aquaman is Enlightenment and was originally conceived as a human adapted to underwater life via scientific means, and while his origins have changed since, he more often than not showcases the beauty and wonder of the sea and its inhabitants, with Atlanteans being humans adapted to living undersea in CrystalSpiresAndTogas. Namor, by contrast, was a HalfHumanHybrid and a VillainProtagonist from the start, his Atlanteans were merpeople hostile to outsiders, and he represents the lurking terror and unknown quantity of the sea, functioning as Romantic. This also extends to their personalities, with Aquaman being written as a curious bookworm and trickster who did things for the sake of it, while Namor was a hot-tempered ByronicHero who did things out of duty or because he'd been crossed.
