It used to be called the "nerdrock" look (ala weezer). Then it started to be called "emo".

Then things got weird.

Now it's called twee?

twee is a british thing, i'd only ever heard it used as an insult, never as...well, that.

jeemus.

one night after an army show we ended up at this bar in soho. everyone besides us was ripped to the gills on cocaine and wearing ascots. naturally a pounded about a bottle of whiskey and proceeded to tell the nearest two of them why one should never--EVER--wear an ascot in public.
later i found out they were "new romantics".
go figure.

ugh, I think a little piece of me just died. I'm all for being a Plaid wearing angry bitch with the occasional "squee" moment when I see kittens, but this shit has got to stop.
I'm wondering what the backlash to the "Twee" movement will be. Whatever, it won't be pretty.

I'm willing to believe pretty much anything about fashion. I'm still trying to figure out how Cavaricci's ever got popular back in their day.
