Five years ago, when I had the time to write longer blog posts, I wrote this:
There’s often no better way to dismiss something as unimportant or insignificant than by labelling it as such. “Twee pop” is a case in point.
The word, Wiktionary records, was taken from a childish pronunciation of sweet, suggesting something overly quaint, dainty, cute or nice.
Cozy Catastrophes may well be as good an example of “twee” as you can find, but there’s nothing quaint or dainty about this. In fact the only two words needed to describe this track are perfectly and lovely.
