which word has become a more loaded pejorative with less and less vestigial connotations with a musical subculture?

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

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?

Chiefly British.
^^ might be yr problem

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

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

goth all the way guys

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

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

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.
