Wow, the days are starting to blur together now. Since I haven't interacted with many people these past few days, I'm starting to lose my train of thought. Hmmm... no, I think it's the music I'm listening to right now. Ever since I started listening to this genre of music called "twee pop," I've started going into this state similar to being high or daydreaming from time to time. I really can't explain the real sensation behind it. It's more like flying above the clouds and being warm next to someone you really love. It's definitely a different feeling than when I'm listening to punk rock music which gets me really hyped up with it's fast pace, it's sometimes catchy and sometimes separatist lyrics. You know what's weird? Twee pop came from punk rock. That's right. WTF? I'm not really sure how it happened but somehow, somewhere punk rock evolved into this genre concerned with childish, innocent, lovey dovey songs. I'm not complaining though. I really like both genres.
For a while, I got really into the whole "culture" behind twee pop and started looking into some of the fashion behind twee. I have to say, that's the #1 reason why I got into fashion all of a sudden. Nobody has asked me why I've gotten into fashion yet, but I figure I'd answer it anyways. Twee girls! They're cute. They follow a DIY ethic. And they follow an almost unheard of subculture. Seriously? Have you heard of Twee? No? I thought so. Anyways, three things come to mind when describing twee fashion: cute, light colored, and DIY clothing.
If you've never heard of "twee pop," it's kind of like Indie pop. Not too different. But like I said, the lyrics tend to be so innocent and said in a soft undertone that the experience differs quite a bit. Try listening to The Friendly Fires and then to Belle And Sebastian. You'll understand what I'm talking about.
And so I go back to my daydreaming..... :)
