The early twee pop scene in the early 1980s was almost exclusively British, heralded by female-led groups like Dolly Mixture and Trixie's Big Red Motorbike and championed by British DJ John Peel who would record sessions with many artists in the scene. The term would pick up steam around the same time as the emergence of the jangly C86 scene, with groups like The Pastels and Talulah Gosh representing its more twee side. Twee pop would also be a major influence on The Jesus and Mary Chain's saccharine and distorted Noise Pop style. However, twee pop in the UK is perhaps most associated with the influential Sarah Records and associated artists like The Field Mice, Another Sunny Day, and Heavenly that enjoyed some popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Though the twee pop scene in the UK would become less active after that, a few prominent Scottish artists like Belle and Sebastian and Camera Obscura would continue the sound through the 1990s and into the 2000s to commercial and critical success, and European labels like the Spanish Elefant Records would continue to release music by British and European groups in the style. British twee pop groups would also be a major influence on the style of Flipper's Guitar, who established the Shibuya-kei movement in Japan in the early 1990s.
American twee pop, on the other hand, is generally regarded as beginning with the mid-1980s work of Beat Happening on K Records, combining the simplistic British indie pop sound with a DIY attitude and parallels to the Japanese Pop Punk group Shonen Knife (who had their first American release on K, in 1985). In contrast to their jangly British counterparts, American twee pop bands would retain this rawer punk influence as it intermingled with the American Indie Rock scene, with 1990s groups like Tiger Trap, Rocketship, and Tullycraft fully establishing this particular branch of the style. Groups like these, along with like-minded bands in the UK and Canada like Heavenly and Cub, would come to be known as "cuddlecore", a substyle sometimes seen as a more lighthearted and melodic parallel to the Riot Grrrl movement.

We could stay alone together
You and me always forever
Say you'll stay never be separate
You know you've got me in your pocket
You don't just have to wait around
You know I keep you in my locket
Just come here and we can settle down
You and me always forever
We could stay alone together
Hard to say things could be better
Darling don't get away right now
You know you've got me in your pocket
You don't just have to wait around
You know I keep you in my locket
Just come here and we can settle down
Oh, darling, it's alarming thing to think of us apart
You know you've got me in your pocket
You don't just have to wait around
You know I keep you in my locket
Just come here and we can settle down
You and me always forever
We could stay alone together
You and me always forever
We could stay alone together
You and me always forever
We could stay alone together
You and me always forever

This song is really important to me. It got me through junior year of highschool. I'd always listen to this song and think about my crush who I could never have as my own boyfriend, ever, and it helped me cope with all the trauma that I had to deal with after school and often even in school. I've never heard such a happier song in my life and it always made me feel less lonely. It was my best friend for a bit. When I first heard this song, I felt happiness for the first time in my life. There's not enough words to explain how special this song is to me.
