Will folk ever be taken seriously, Sup Forums?

Will folk ever be taken seriously, Sup Forums?

It is. Indie-folk on the other hand...

nice answer

Thing is, I just see people respect prog-rock and whatnot way more than folk music

Not if it is always unbearable White

Thanks friend.

>respect prog-rock
if only...

I always assumed it was one of the most respected genres

I like Folk, but prefer it mixed with Country, Blues and Rock.

Prog fans are circlejerkers that try really hard to make it look like it's highly respected. It's rather pathetic actually.

I guess you're right

Prog rock will always be more respected than your dumb indie folk

OP is about folk in general, you dumb dadrock-drone

t. prog babby

>mad indie cucks
Yes and Pink Floyd will always be more respected than Sufjan Stevens and other gay shit

(you)

We're talking Simon and Garfunkel. and Bob Dylan, not that indie shit

>implying sufjan isn't better than both of those artists

what the fuck

pink floyd was influenced by folk

this

So what? Radiohead was influenced by REM. That doesn't make REM good OR respected.

what's gayer, simon and garfunkel or sufjan stevens?

>that doesn't make them respected
>the musicians you list respect them

It doesn't make Radiohead good either

Fuck you, leatherhead.

>I don't know what folk is, yet I still give an opinion about it

it's leatherman

/thread

I wish I could confidently say this was bait

>Many many thousands of years of continuous music making by mankind go unrecorded. All of it that is made outside of monarchical or religious contexts is folk.
>100 and a bit years of recorded music.
>"Will folk ever be taken seriously?"

We tried to take it seriously in 1965, and again in 2011.

Not ever falling for that one again
