	Twee pop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Twee pop is a type of indie pop that is known for simple, sweet melodies and lyrics, often combined with jangling guitars.
		Twee pop bands who use 'buzzsaw' rather than jangling guitars, such as Shonen Knife and the Beatnik Termites, tend also to be influenced by Buzzcocks and The Ramones.
		In the 1980s 'twee' bands were simply described as 'indie' or 'shambling', the latter term coined by DJ John Peel, who originally applied it to a session by the group Bogshed.

		Twee music and the twee lifestyle -- such as there is one -- are a refutation of all that we know about rock 'n' roll.
		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.
		Twee kids, instead of defining themselves against their parents, embrace a Jonathan Richman worldview: The Old World was better; love was pure and, more than that, less confusing.

		Twee pop is the shy, lovelorn, indie cousin of bubblegum.
		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.
		Heavily influenced by the three-chord simplicity of the Ramones and the jangly guitar pop of the Smiths, C-86 became a short-lived genre that soon gave way to twee pop.

		No, what Architecture in Helsinki is, at heart, is a twee pop band.

		This indie pop three-piece from Boston, MA comprised of guitarist Andrew Churchman, drummer Carly Smith and bassist Sterling Bryant plays the kind of sugary pop music known as twee pop.
		Since they're one of the best and most influential bands in the history of twee, this really calls for a recommendation.
		In the beginning it was basically just Kevin Alvir (of Sprites fame) making sweet pop gems by himself on his 4-track with acoustic guitar and a drum machine.

		The Free Design are considered a sadly overlooked treasure in some circles; the rediscovery of the band’s back catalog in the late 90s coincided with the growth of twee pop, a fitting movement for the 60s jazz-influenced pop band to grandfather.
		For a French pop revivalist, Blake is perhaps not what you’d expect; her previous claim to fame was an animator on Ren and Stimpy (though she’s played in other bands) and she wasn’t even French.
		Her interest in all things ye-ye was confusing to the French producers she met, many of them wondering if she was serious about performing in a style many French people saw as a relic at best, and as a faint embarassment at worst.

		For those not in the habit of using the British strain of the English lexicon, the term "twee" supposedly was first used in Punch magazine back in 1905 to describe something precious, but lately has been assigned a more pejorative meaning: excessively dainty, affectedly delicate.
		Portland quintet Parks and Recreation is one such group that has fallen under the spell of twee pop's fussy fusion of sounds.
		And while it may well prove to be too much an acquired taste for a large share of the CD-buying public, it's a crafty addition to twee pop's catalog of confections.

		Okay, well, maybe you'll find a little tweeness in Sufjan Steven's more precious moments, or the lush romanticism of Stars, or in the latest and greatest Belle and Sebastian, but I'm thinking of a different indie pop beast.
		The jangly "Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend Is Too Stupid to Know About" is a cult classic: chock full of references to other swoonworthy indie pop bands, it's a balm to dumped indie boys across the world.
		And the refrain of "Twee" is as infectious as it is sharp and self-affirming.

	Introduction
		The Indiepop mailing-list is devoted to discussion of independently produced pop music, the kind that tends to come out on small-run seven-inch singles with handmade sleeves.
		They call it "wimpy" and "twee", but Pop Kids everywhere know that the true spirit of Punk Rock lives on not in the mass-marketed "alternative" scene, or the sub-metal caterwauling of testosterone-poisoned grunge-rockers, but in the simple and pure efforts of kids banging out sweet delicious songs on cheap guitars.
		Being a pop fan in a rock 'n' roll world can be a lonely thing; would you like to find other indiepoppers, and help support the la-la scene?

		After all, this is a group whose lead singer once boasted “Fuck me, I’m twee!” on “Twee” from Beat, Surf, Fun.
		Still, one would be hard pressed to recall or even imagine a record on which Tullycraft or any other twee-pop outfit might sound as tight, joyous, or vital.
		There are no weak songs here, but the group is undoubtedly at its best when it cranks up the volume and the tempo.

		The first instrument you notice upon listening to Something About Airplanes is the cello on "Bend to Squares." It fades out, soon enough replaced by the familiar electric guitar, but it sets this album's offbeat mood.
		Experimentation and pop hooks strike a perfect balance on this debut from the Bellingham, Washington-based Death Cab for Cutie.
		The Boy with the Arab Strap is an immediately infectious and delicious pastiche of fey, Nick Drake-ian vocals; lilting pop melodies; shimmery arrangements; croony wonder; and tortured, lit-smart lyrics.

		This, the third LP by TBS, is essentially (like the others) a solo project masterminded by a former Field Mouse named Robert Wratten.
