Can anyone tell me from where & when the word "Timey" first appeared, in relation to Old-Time Music?

Maybe it's just me, but the term 'Timey' sounds excruciatingly TWEE, in the extreme & makes me physically squirm, every time I read it! :-(

Does anyone actually use this term seriously?

Or is it, as I suspect, mostly used as a put down, by people who perhaps don't know this music, &/or don't actually like it?

Cheers
Dick
