I don't know, I think the "Soviet school" of shutting down the other player's options one by one then grinding them down has a certain stylishness to it as well.
Bobby Fischer got a taste of that during the cold war
I'm currently trying to learn Capablanca's style but the Soviet School sounds really cool!
Romantic is probably more akin to how I've always organically played chess, and always lost.
