What is ''real" in a musical sense anyways?
>>65245156
Actually the more accurate will be folk punk
Folk music is music transmitted orally, or as music with unknown composers.
Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it from earlier folk forms
Traditional Folk is a very broad term for the music, passed down through oral tradition, of a given culture
Contemporary folk is the """/mu/ definition""", or more accurately, Popular Music that has some stylistic origins in some forms of folk music

He means "real" in the anthropological sense.
Folk music is music played by a certain group of people, passed down through tradition.

White males stealing musical styles from other countries and cultures

It's folk revival, i.e., the representation of the form and aesthetics of folk in the modern context of popular music.

If you take a little more effort to deconstruct even more and you will realize every culture "appropriate" others in one aspect or another.
Been waiting ages for a folk thread.
Are there any essential folk artists? Preferably contemporary.

I just started browsing BC the other day and came across this album, it's honestly one of the comfiest albums I've heard (tempted to actually buy it since I can't find a torrent), and am wondering if there are any similar artists.
