Back in the mid-80s to early-90s I was very into c86/anorak/cutie/shambling/whatever music. Stuff like The Field Mice, Talulah Gosh, The Pastels etc. etc. At this time the word 'twee' was used almost exclusively as an insult for our scene. This subreddit got me thinking, is the word seen positively now? I know the band Heavenly that grew out of Talulah Gosh have embraced it since reforming with "Riot Twee" slogan tee shirts.
