Collection: Anti-Folk

Anti-Folk is a genre that emerged as a rebellious response to the traditional folk music scene, blending raw, unpolished aesthetics with punk-inspired attitudes. It embraces a DIY ethos and often features unconventional lyrics, off-kilter vocals, and stripped-down instrumentation. Drawing influences from both folk and punk, Anti-Folk artists typically eschew technical proficiency in favor of emotional authenticity and creative expression. The genre's offshoots, such as Folk Punk and Acoustic Punk, further emphasize this fusion by incorporating more aggressive vocal styles, faster tempos, and politically charged themes while maintaining an acoustic-driven sound. Anti-Folk's charm lies in its ability to subvert expectations, offering a fresh and often humorous take on folk traditions while retaining the genre's storytelling roots and intimate performance style.
