I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Punk is just like any other sub culture or music. Straight rock music has those elements. I grew up in a place where the punk rock kids fed the homeless in the town square.
Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a lifestyle.
Punk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.
I can play punk rock, and I love playing punk rock, but I was into every other style of music before I played punk rock.
Punk rock really came out of N.Y. as a philosophy before the groups were ever recorded. I had a kind-of intellectual interest in the idea of creating a new scene that could be a grassroots thing.
Folk music is music that everyday people can play, and it inspired a lot of people to make their own music. That trailed into making your own pop music, and that's why garage bands started springing up everywhere.
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
I love punk rock, but I also love metal.
Punk's influence on music, movies, art, design and fashion is no longer in doubt. It is used as the measurement for what is cool.
Hip-hop and R&B is mostly what I listen to. I don't have a connection with punk rock - I just never had that experience.
