Protest Folk
Protest folk is a genre characterized by its potent blend of acoustic melodies and powerful socio-political commentary. Emerging prominently in the early to mid-20th century, it serves as a musical platform for advocating social justice, labor rights, and political reform. Artists like Woody Guthrie and The Almanac Singers use simple yet poignant lyrics to resonate with the struggles of everyday people, striving for change. Known for grassroots authenticity, protest folk often features storytelling with a raw, emotional edge, as seen in the works of Utah Phillips and Anne Feeney. The genre, infused with sincerity and activism, remains timeless in its commitment to catalyzing social change through music.
