Twee started out a pejorative and was "reclaimed"

the thing about that thread is that jho didn't hypenate THE DREAM so i always find it by searching for "ne-yo"

I used 'twee' irl in college and it is still one of the most embarrassing things I've done while blackout drunk

― A B C, Saturday, 6 March 2010 06:38 (fifteen years ago)

Like I did not think it would be basically like getting a facial tattoo of a cat macro, but it was

I used twee once IRL. There's this girl with long brown hair and a big bow in a band called "Wh3n 1 W4s Tw3lve" and she is ridic cutesy and I was like "Can I make you a shirt that says 'TWEE AS FUCK"? and she just got uncomfortable. But I mean "twee" to me just means "ridic cutesy", is this not correct?

Because they encompass all these tags, and ELECTRO, Capricorns were the best band of the 00's.

Gaahl has chosen Emo. Therefore Emo is exempt. Goth is awesome unless prefixed with cyber.

Twee must die.

why wouldn't you use "twee" irl?

voted emo

I tried using twee irl recently and it went over like a lead balloon. Is it that people just say that on the internet?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Saturday, 6 March 2010 10:54 (fifteen years ago)

Chiefly British.

^^ might be yr problem

― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 6 March 2010 11:28 (fifteen years ago)

So nowhere near Baltimore then, huh? That probably explains it. Glad i haven't tried to shoehorn "ickle" in anywhere!

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Saturday, 6 March 2010 11:51 (fifteen years ago)

Twee-more. Now there's a Baltimore combination of town and gown I'd like to hear.

― Doran, Saturday, 6 March 2010 12:29 (fifteen years ago)

goth all the way guys

― lukevalentine, Sunday, 7 March 2010 00:55 (fifteen years ago)

hmmm. definitely not twee.

i met a girl in university once during a radio station orientation and i thought she had really great taste in music. then she dropped the "twee" bomb and things were never the same.

i think i can stand behind the goth bands i listen to proudly, so i'll pick that one.

just dl'd a copy of Of Montreal's Hissing Fauna, and the genre is listed as "Twee"

all three of these are awesome, only a twee goth emo would think otherwise

― noted schloar (dyao), Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:01 (fifteen years ago)

what is the 'twee bomb'? liking twee music or saying 'twee'?

― iatee, Sunday, 7 March 2010 05:21 (fifteen years ago)

Is it like dropping Tallulah Gosh in the middle of a minimal techno set? And the crowd do the opposite of going wild. They just slump a little bit.
