Twee pop is a subgenre of indie pop[1] that originates from the 1986 NME compilation C86.[2] Twee pop gets its name from the aesthetic of twee, which is known for its simplicity and childlike innocence.[3] Some of its defining features are boy-girl harmonies, catchy melodies, and lyrics about love. For many years, prominent independent record labels associated with twee pop were Sarah Records (in the UK) and K Records (in the US).[2]
Twee pop gained popularity in the 1990s, and has seen a recent revival in the 2020s.[3]
