because it's an incredibly fun blip and a lot can be done with it in terms of arrangements. that said I listen to everything there apart from rhythm and blues (because that's mostly boring repetitive wank)

I listen to lots of folk though

Except American "Folk" music is only as old as Jazz. Most European country's "Folk" is even younger than Jazz and only sprung up in the late 60s and early 70s.

>Most European country's "Folk" is even younger than Jazz and only sprung up in the late 60s and early 70s.
is this bait?

>

the last four are all "popular music", which is at the same level of generality as "classical music", and popular music is sure to remain a fixture of our culture for centuries to come. Real folk and classical are also dying.

you know next to nothing about music or you are baiting

Folk started in Europe as mystical Hippy music. While in America Folk music began as "hillbilly music" in the 1920s. In America it was their culture, but in Europe it's counter culture.

please look up what "folk" means

this post is embarrassing for you.

I think you're both under the misconception that "Folk" music is an unbroken continuation from ye olde ancient times, but it really isn't. It was invented in the 60s.

fuck me dude find another board immediately

you're really dumb, 'folk' music is such a wide concept it can be anything made from the first string instruments made and some vocals behind it. If you actually think the first folk music from murrica was from 1920 idk dude

Are you baiting? I seriously hope so, because this is one of the most profoundly wrong opinions I've ever seen.

What is colloquially referred to as "Folk" is usually "Folk Rock", like Bob Dylan. Real Folk music is interchangeable with the tag "Traditional", and has no set beginning date as it varies in every culture around the world.

As long as there has been music there's been folk music. I think it's a stupidly general name for it, but everything from African tribal drumming to Klezmer and Tuvan Throat Singing is folk music.

how many versions of folk is there

As many as there are cultures in the world.

>Real Folk music is interchangeable with the tag "Traditional",
nope. Traditional and Folk music mean different things now. Folk used to mean traditional / world music, but the term was taken over in the 70s by various singer songwriters and groups

Folk is shitty dylan and twingy acoustic guitar hippies, while Traditional music is the specific name for music stored primarily in the collective memory of a people, and with a cultural purpose.

"Folk" is now a subset of popular music - that which is stored primarily on recordings and made for profit or fame and released on neatly packaged albums for consumers to purchase.

"Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Some types of folk music are also called world music."

how many times can you hear minor pentatonic scale and power chords and 4/4 rhythm? personally I get bored

Folk is traditional AND contemporary.

You dumb fucking cunts

>how many times can you hear minor pentatonic scale
indefinitely. I love blues guitar

>funk
>boring repetitive wank

How can the folk be music if it's people

"Traditional" is the correct modern term you should be using. "Folk" is ambiguous and covers hippies.
If you're on the wikipedia entry for "folk" of course its going to say it includes traditional music. The term evolved. If you look at my image it says "traditional music is a modern name for what has been called 'folk'"

Look at the wikipedia entry for Traditional music. Try to use the correct modern terms for things or people will go into a shitfit about bob dylan when you're trying to discuss Polynesian log drumming

No, ''''folk'''' is the correct term.

If you talk about newer folk you should say ''''''''contemporary folk''''''''.

simple things for simple minds

me I need more than 1 scale, 1 type of chord, and 1 rhythm.

Rock is like retarded monkey music once you've seen the inner workings of a bach fugue

We are on a polynesian log drumming forum though.

This is silly. Just because you want your blond porno women banging a log in the middle of a german bog to be pure aryan "folk" doesn't change the definition of a musical genre based out of 60/70s sensibilities.

if folk is the correct term why am I correcting you?

Use the term that creates the least confusion, and is the simplest. No one wants to type out "contemporary folk" every time they talk about folk music. If you use the correct term, "traditional music" everyone will know what you're talking about and you wont have people like me and and telling you you're using the wrong term

...

>a musical genre based out of 60/70s sensibilities.

IT WASN'T YOU DUMB PRICK

But they're all folk music.

>Bird music
>150 million years old

>Human music
>2 million years old

Open your eyes, sheeple.

ok lad, I like bach too

pretty sure rock and blues involve more than "1 scale, 1 type of chord, and 1 rhythm" but I don't want to get into a goalpost-moving fight here

nah, by modern definitions (ie. post 1980) top is traditional, bottom is folk.

Its really simple guys, names for genres evolve, get with the times and use "traditional music" and no one will have any issues.

>change the names for dumb people so they don't have to admit they are wrong and retarded

No.

Blues is amazing tho.

What is this thread? I just see a bunch of folks on here bein quite darn nasty to each other and it ain't right. It's left.

>folks
ehehehe

Better question: Why do you have your head permanently shoved up your own ass?

>no metal
>no punk
>no hip hop

those are all subgenres of rock music

>hip hop
>rock music
Jesus

>punk, metal
rock subgenre
>hip hop
electronic music subgenre

I just won't. Maybe it's cause I'm swedish and it's folkmusik here.

Hip hop is just American reggae.

No it's tradtional, can't you read?

No its folk you dumb twat.

Its all folk, traditional folk or contemporary folk but its all folk.

I think tradmusic user has aspergers

Look up your fucking history m8. The folk revival started in the 30s and 40s.

And anything after should be called contemporary folk or folk revival.

Sweet Sup Forumsro, using the fedora meme, that will win you the argument, you sure get them there

You sound pretentious as fuck. The meemee applies

Are you autists seriously arguing about semantics of folk/traditional music? Please kill yourselves, I beg you.

>calling a meme a meme is pretentious

...

we will never call it traditionell musik here lol, it doesn't work

>electronic
>80 years
Did that dude just make that up? It's either way longer or shorter depending on how you want to define it.

You guys do know that rhythm and blues/rock and roll/rockabilly are all counted as basically the same thing these days, right?

1940s for first recordings at least.

>In 1942 French composer and theoretician Pierre Schaeffer began his exploration of radiophony when he joined Jacques Copeau and his pupils in the foundation of the Studio d'Essai de la Radiodiffusion nationale. The studio originally functioned as a center for the Resistance movement in French radio, which in August 1944 was responsible for the first broadcasts in liberated Paris. It was here that Schaeffer began to experiment with creative radiophonic techniques using the sound technologies of the time

1860s because of player pianos, also the theremin was in the 20s if you don't consider player pianos to be computers.

What is the definitive music genre?

>heh, yeah kid? simple things for simple minds *slowly lifts up unspecified brimmed hat* me? i need more than 1 scale, 1 type of chord, and 1 rhythm *pulls out vape* Rock is like retarded monkey music once you've seen the inner workings of a bach fugue *blows vape into the mirror* but don't take it personally, kid

...

You're literally the only one with issues

>electric music

The fuck is that?

how many people here actually only listen to one genre

>Giving jazz, rnb, electronic, and rock their own categories while folk and classical only get one

Fucking rockists.

Quite a lot if you use the OP genres.

Jokes on you, I listen to noise.

then why are you on a music board?

Music that's transmitted through electrons instead of sound waves. Get with the times, man.

Quantity/quality fallacy

p r o g

what makes traditional music better than rock music?

This thread is about size.

Electronic music isn't a genre

No one said it was.

Its an umbrella term for all music made with instruments that have a plug.

>it's old therefore it's great

Why do you base what you listen to on how old it is? Younger genres like Rock still have room to grow (although rock hasn't been growing much lately, sadly)

>top: traditional folk
>bottom: contemporary folk
how hard is this to understand

rocks dead already

I don't.

I listen to the first three though
