Coyly precious indie pop, generally driven by jangly guitars and adenoidal or high-pitched vocals. The name "twee" was first applied to indie pop groups in England in the 1980s, like Heavenly, and was not obviously a compliment. At best, it was an affectionate insult. In the U.K., calling something "twee" suggests that it is affectedly dainty. To the extent there is currently a twee pop revival, that revival is mostly taking place in the U.S. and Scandinavia, where no one knows that they should care about the pejorative implications of the word.
The band members of Camera Obscura might not like to have their music referred to as twee pop, but they are twee as f**k.

"Tarquin and I are torn between renaming him 'Life' and 'Cactus'. It needs to be something that expresses his masculinity yet - bugger! He's puked his yak cheese and aniseed brûlé all over my pashmina shawl."

An e-mail that, like a tweet on twitter, is 24 characters or less and reports boring status or stupid personal factoids that the recipients don't give a crap about.
Pam, our dufus friend, Mark, just sent me a twee-mail from his iPhone saying, "At Pier 39, Wipeout Cafe, eating a Wipeout burger". Does he really think I care where he is and what he's eating--boooorrrring!
