Twee Pop

Twee Pop is a subgenre of indie pop that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1980s. It is characterized by its light, melodic sound, often featuring female vocals, jangly guitars, and a focus on innocence and nostalgia. It is often seen as a reaction to the darker, more aggressive sounds of punk and post-punk. Common lyrical themes include love, friendship, and childhood. Notable artists in the genre include The Pastels, The Field Mice, and Belle and Sebastian.
