A sub-set of hipsters; a sub-culture of
men and women typically in their 20's and 30's concerned with all things twee a particular sweet and dainty type of
music, literary, film and cultural reference and persuasion; female tweesters can be found operating etsy stores specializing in handmade dolls and barrettes and reconstructed
baby-doll dresses, while male tweesters either play in or are fans of sappy folk-inspired bands with songs about heartbreak and their cats/kids. They are often dressed by their female counterparts in
adorable bow-ties, wire-rimmed glasses, cardigans or any other garb that renders their male aggression neutered (and some would argue, repressed). While they may appear harmless, tweesters are aggressive in their demand for the
soft and sweet side of things; encroach upon their
soft-focus, sunlit world with the cold, harsh irony of the late 90s gen-X or early millennium mentality and they will draw
blood. Be warned.
The tweester couple walking hand in hand down Mission Street looked not so much like young adults as an
adorable elementary school couple.
The
pop-up shop manned by two female tweesters sold elbow patches with daisies and hearts embroidered on them. A cluster of male tweesters had gathered around and were holding up various versions to their tiny tweed blazers's thread-bare arms in a clear attempt to woo the knee-
sock-wearing vendors.
