| | Twee pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Twee pop is a type of indie pop that is known for simple, sweet melodies and lyrics, often with jangling guitars and a noted emphasis on childlike naivete. | | | Although Belle and Sebastian have been described as a twee pop band, this is a description the band have rejected. | | | In the United Kingdom, where twee pop was most popular, Sarah Records was home to most of the bands in the field, including Heavenly and the Orchids. |

| | Twee kids are a lot like the punk rockers before them, but you could say that twee, since its erstwhile inception in the '80s, has always rebelled against punk. | | | The Kindercore record label is the biggest purveyor of twee music and happiness in the United States. | | | Twee music and the twee lifestyle -- such as there is one -- are a refutation of all that we know about rock 'n' roll. |

| | Incorporating the D.I.Y. spirit of punk with the gentle sweetness of the girl-group era, twee pop is typically characterized by its catchy melodies, boy-girl harmonies, and rebellious innocence. | | | The Faeries' melodic sing-song style echoes with a wide-eyed simplicity and romantic innocence. | | | The U.K., home to the legendary Sarah label, was the hub for most twee-pop bands, but the movement gained momentum in the States through K Records, a label owned by Beat Happening's Calvin Johnson. |

| | Twee as Fuck: The Story of Indie Pop: Pitchfork Feature |
| | They have their own names for themselves (popkids, popgeeks) and for the music they listen to (p!o!p, twee, anorak, C-86). | | | The peak of twee had come and gone, and what had largely faded was the sense of primitivism-- with everyone trying so hard to be dreamy-pretty, production values and good musicianship and sheer ambition had to come back. | | | With Heavenly, though, the performances were remarkably tight, with guitarist Peter Momtchiloff playing impossibly twisty pop lines; their melodies and harmonies were precise and catchy, sophisticated and wistful. |

| | When "twee" first appeared around 1905 it was used as a simple synonym for "sweet" and carried no noxious connotations, but within a few years its use had narrowed and it has been used ever since in a purely sarcastic sense. | | | One mighty be tempted to attribute the currency of the critical term "twee" in Britain to the more refined cultural sensibilities of the British public, but in view of the fact that these folks inflicted the ghastly Teletubbies on the rest of us, such a theory clearly does not hold water. | | | It's short for "tweet," which in turn is an imitation (in this case) of a small child's pronunciation of the word "sweet." ("Tweet," of course, can also be an imitation of the sound a bird makes. |
