Summary:
Vanity Fair journalist
Marc
Spitz
gives a name to the first great cultural movement since Hip Hop: an old-fashioned and yet highly modern aesthetic that's embraced internationally by teens, twenty and thirty-somethings and even some Baby Boomers; creating a hybrid generation known as Twee. Garden State, Miranda July, Belle and Sebastian, Wes Anderson, Mumblecore, McSweeney's, Morrissey, beards, artisanal pickles, food trucks and crocheted owls on Etsy are all examples of a cultural aesthetic known as Twee.
Spitz
traces Generation Twee's roots from the Post War 50s to its dominance in popular culture today.
