The Anti-folk thread - Because it deserves it's own thread!!! - The DIS Discussion Forums

Shelton123 · 01-21-2009, 04:01 PM

This thread is to chat about Anti-folk music! Just kind of like the Taylor Swift or JoBros threads, just about good music, and not... Taylor Swift and the JoBros, I don't want to be too insulting here. Artists like Lenka, Regina Spektor, and The Moldy Peaches, and Michelle Shocked!

Regina Spektor has an amazing voice.

Shelton123 · 01-21-2009, 04:11 PM

Yes, have you ever heard the song Uh-merica? She sounds especially good in that. Also in Lacrimosa and Poor Little Rich Boy. They even named a Suite Life episode after the latter.

Wait do you mean just not famous people or not folk, because I listen to a lot of folk, like Cat Stevens, Harry Chapin, Jason Mraz, and a lot more.

That's folk, not Anti-folk. They are two completely different genres. I mean, I like those artists, but not as much.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to talk about every genre that's not folk?

Anti-folk is it's own genre. Anti-folk is not its literal meaning. I don't hate folk music, I LOVE anti-folk music. It's about the specific genre of music.

since when is anti-folk used as a genrne i thought it was called Indie shrugs

chisnpeke · 01-21-2009, 05:45 PM

I've never heard of "anti-folk" music, just folk music, much of which I enjoy.

They're different genres. For example Lenka isn't on an indipendent record label (she's with Epic), so she can't be indie, but she is anti-folk. And vice versa, Born Ruffians is an indie artist, but they aren't anti-folk.

If you want to know more, you can Wikipedia it!

Hah, see I didn't know that. I'm more of a punk/alternative rock girl myself. The Moldy Peaches sing "Anyone Else but You" from Juno right?

spidermonkey22 · 01-21-2009, 05:58 PM

o and here i was thinkin u just invented that genre silly me

My Wild Love · 01-21-2009, 06:30 PM

You just enlightened me of the term anti-folk, but I do enjoy Regina Spektor.

Shelton123 · 01-21-2009, 06:35 PM

I actually read about it! I had googled Regina Spektor after hearing one of my friends told me about her in 4th grade. So I googled her and found this amazing genre. I've been to the anti-folk festival a few times, and it's been great every time.
