Well, the thing is - while you're right that Bob Dylan can barely be considered folk, American folk music's revolves around the guitar and repeating rhythms quite a bit. It's where you get Cajun music and Appalachian music and even Piedmont/Delta Blues. This seeped into American popular music which is the basis of most music nowadays. Now, interestingly, other countries (especially the ones in the rest of America) have their own folk music that often has the only common instrument amongst it being... the guitar. And Fado, the most essential form of Portuguese Folk Music... is basically just people playing guitars.
Ethan Moore
American folk music is Bluegrass m8
has all weird shit like musical saws and other folky nonsense
John Ortiz
The folk music here in eastern Canada is almost completely derived from irish, scottish, english, and french songs. Played on guitars, mandolins and fiddles. later on in the 30s the banjo would start appearing more. At around that same time more southern music started getting popular. Mostly though it was old fiddle tunes.
Sebastian Taylor
There is no such thing as American folk. Stop perpetuating this meme.
Kevin Stewart
I play old-time, which comes before bluegrass bud. It would be the spot in between the European music and the newly written American songs. characterized by pretty much the same patterens of AABB
Colton Russell
nice revisionism
Carson Sanchez
What do you mean? The melting pot doesn't produce any folk by definition.
Jaxson Campbell
old time is just bluegrass before bluegrass got a name
Jason Watson

Nathan Bennett
Sort of. It was pretty much string bands but they played a lot of tunes from Britain with different lyrics.
Elijah Sanders
and as a banjo player, I can say it's stylistically different. (clawhammer versus 3 finger)
John Wright
Yeah, Bluegrass and Old Time are all really closely intertwined and from them nearly all American music comes from, and that's where you have the guitar as an instrument.
Ok, maybe not "American" due to the sheer size of America, however there are local unique cultural manifestations like Creole and Cajun music that are still common to this day.
Ian Torres
It's all fusion. There is no folk in there anymore.
Blake Richardson
You could argue the same for so much folk music just in general.
Logan Butler
romani music fusion both fusion and folk so what you're saying is dumb
Luke Gonzalez
I come from New Brunswick which would be the most northern area of the Appalachian mountains and it's known here that the Acadians(French) left for Louisiana due to pressure from the English. Cajun and Acadian music are very similar.
Angel Ramirez
What?
Isaiah Garcia
sorry i had a stroke apparently
romani music is both fusion and folk
Ian Richardson
All of eastern europe. The accordion is the best instrument of all time and it's all over the place in their music

It literally does though. "American folk" is defined by the diverse regional styles that blend and borrow through a shared national identity.
