As a genre label, originally applied by the notoriously mean British music press (see
NME
) to refer to sickly-sweet indie pop music like
Heavenly
and
Talulah Gosh
. In the
States
, the best know sources are
Slumberland Records
and
K Records
.

Twee is
actually
an older term than the British
pop music
press
. Originally used in reference to
opera
, the term describes something that is
consciously
cute
. An example in opera would be pretty well anything by
Gilbert and Sullivan
(such as
Pirates of Penzance
).
