Folk music is characterized by its acoustic instrumentation, often featuring guitars, banjos, and fiddles, and simple, storytelling-driven lyrics. Emerging from traditional European and American roots, folk evolved through the 20th century, influenced by Appalachian string bands, blues, and Celtic music. The 1960s saw a surge in popularity, with singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel pushing the genre's boundaries. Folk's cultural significance lies in its ability to convey social commentary, personal narratives, and community spirit, often with a strong emphasis on vocal harmonies and intimate, stripped-down arrangements. While overlapping with genres like country, blues, and rock, folk's distinctive focus on storytelling and acoustic instrumentation sets it apart. Its versatility has led to various sub-genres, such as psychedelic folk and folk rock, further expanding its appeal.
