초록
In the Spring 2016, Volume 20, Number 1 issue of the Journal of Ewha Music Research Institute, I published an article entitled, “Digging up the Roots: Understanding what is meant by the term ‘Folk Music.’” In that article, I elucidated various opinions and arguments regarding the question “What is Folk Music?” This article further investigates that question by comparing and contrasting the dynamics of two starkly different folk music scenes (Fast Folk and the Anti-Folk) in New York City in the mid-1990s. This article will look more closely at the ideological and sonic divide between these two groups beginning with a brief history of each in order to understand their existence and the distinction/similarities between them. The second section deals with the identity of the groups and how their identity and image is perpetuated by the physical location and décor of the venues, the differences generated by a folk vs. a punk heritage, and the demographics of the performers and audience members.
