Twee pop is a genre characterized by its whimsical, lo-fi sound, often featuring jangly guitars, simple drum patterns, and catchy melodies. Emerging in the 1980s, twee pop drew from indie rock, folk, and punk influences, with a strong emphasis on DIY ethics and amateurish charm. The genre's heyday in the 1990s saw a proliferation of bands that blended wistful, introspective lyrics with a childlike sense of wonder. Twee pop's cultural significance lies in its rejection of mainstream rock's bombast and its celebration of introversion, sensitivity, and creative innocence. While related to indie rock and folk, twee pop's distinctiveness lies in its deliberate primitivism, naivety, and affectionate nostalgia, which sets it apart from more polished and introspective indie folk and the angst-driven indie rock of the time.
