What about.. Xander Harris or Paul Nelson or Rolf Trostel or Philippe Laurent - or Harald Grosskopf - ??

I don't see how the Hairy Bikers as any of those things though. Like I said, it's not Northerners or distinctively Northern stuff that I find twee, that would obviously be ridiculous. It's these comedy Northern monkey stereotypes that seem to get perpetuated on tv & radio, like the Hairy...

These bearded faggots were back on the tv last night. They've managed to take something previously thought of very masculine and threatening, and turned it into something that's menopausal housewife foda. That's pretty twee imo. The c*nts. Then it got me to thinking. There's a whole vein of...

Izzard is definitely not twee, I think you're just making the association because you don't like him. He does stand up as a transvestite, now that takes balls. Not something you'd associate with twee. If you needed to label any comedians as twee (twee in the more traditional B&S sense) I'd...

According to the C.R. article I posted back a page (or 2), this was the advert & song that kicked started advertising's love affair with twee. I think it's as close to a defining point of this nu-twee as you're going to get. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie"...

What about this dude.. Is he the first successful twee rapper?

Can nu-twee actually be political in itself? I thought It's about living in a delusional bubble, and there no room for harsh realities in the twee bubble. That's part of why it's so appealing to advertisers. Who I think should take a lot of the blame for this shit. Here's a post from the...

Rather than Cat Power, someone like Beth Orton would probably be a better fit. But we're back in the territory of just indicting all music that is vaguely feminine and spoiling the sausagefest. Personally I can enjoy plenty of female folk music, so that's not what I find dislikeable about the...

Yes, exactly. The Arts and Craft Movement has sod all to with hipsters in East London. And there's a plethora of twee rap and r&b covers on youtube, so it's not inherently an anti urban thing either.

Nice rant but it's all rather myopic. Like there aren't white middle class people, born and bread in the city, who just eat this shit up. Or people of all classes, from anywhere in the country, who'll hate twee for the exact same reasons. Or middle class white boys who get overly angry about...

I'd say this is an example of quirky/wacky, rather than twee. Either way it's still incredible annoying. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value=""><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src=""...

Yes a quite awful movie. If Juno was twee packaged for punk rock chicks. Then 500 days was twee for yuppies. gross.

Are you watching it? I'd be interested to hear dissensus' thoughts on it so far. http://www.channel4.com/programmes/black-mirror/4od#3264068

I think there needs to be a distinction made that there is plenty of good music/musicians/bands out there that can be labelled as twee. And if all music had to be loud, shouty and aggressive it would become a pretty boring conversation quickly, so there's a place for it. The most important part...
