 | | Filk music is a closely related musical genre which originated as parodies of folk songs, and parody remains a dominant theme of the style. | | | Folk music is easy to parody because it is, at present, a popular music genre that relies on a traditional music genre. | | | Northumbrian Traditional Music The folk music of Northumbria in North-East England. |

| | Much of early country music, for instance, was basically old-time folk music. | | | Perhaps the antithesis of composed 'classical' music (which tends to be more academic), 'folk' refers music 'of the people,' as in songs and melodies shared by families and communities and passed down through generations. | | | Contemporary folk music, though, is a broad category: It can be soft and warm around the edges, or it can show the influence of punk rock in its sharpness and punch. |

| | Folk Music |
| | When the folk musician is not himself a member of an oppressed or exotic group, he or she takes on the trappings of working class dress and shows up onstage carrying an acoustic guitar, wearing demins, flannel, and ugly shoes, mumbling between songs disparaging remarks about at least one other current genre of popular music. | | | Real Folk Music is the umbrella organization for all my musical projects; songwriting, publishing, performing, promoting, recording, and live sound engineering. | | | All this works to turn "folk" music into a classical form, as strict in rules of sound and presentation as concert music or heavy metal: play particular instruments, maintain a particular attitude, wear a particular set of clothes. |
