초록
Unlike many of my contemporaries who were listening to the latest pop music in the 1970s and 1980s, I had always been drawn to what was labeled as “folk music,” through the sounds of the Weavers, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, the Limelighters, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, among others. As a graduate student in New York City in the mid-1990s, that fascination grew stronger as I was surrounded by a vibrant folk scene, and even participated in open mike performances. But I quickly became aware of distinct, and oft times opposing groups of musicians, who loosely aligned themselves with one of two musical movements, namely Fast Folk and the Anti-Folk. This article is the first of two that will explore the NYC folk scene of that era, and how it got that way. Here, I will explore what is meant by the nebulous, and sometimes contentious term “folk music.” The second, forthcoming article will more fully address the Folk and the Anti-Folk.
Abstract
Unlike many of my contemporaries who were listening to the latest pop music in the 1970s and 1980s, I had always been drawn to what was labeled as “folk music,” through the sounds of the Weavers, Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, the Limelighters, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, among others. As a graduate student in New York City in the mid-1990s, that fascination grew stronger as I was surrounded by a vibrant folk scene, and even participated in open mike performances. But I quickly became aware of distinct, and oft times opposing groups of musicians, who loosely aligned themselves with one of two musical movements, namely Fast Folk and the Anti-Folk. This article is the first of two that will explore the NYC folk scene of that era, and how it got that way. Here, I will explore what is meant by the nebulous, and sometimes contentious term “folk music.” The second, forthcoming article will more fully address the Folk and the Anti-Folk.
