I write folk-pop, traditional folk and world-folk songs. These days folk means a lot of things. I still have no idea what contemporary folk is.

Hi Chopin:
Don't feel alone. I suspect there are people on 5th Avenue being paid to create new genres in order to help the music industry sell albums... LOL!
Welcome to JPF. I see this is your 8th post and I hope you'll enjoy all the facets this site has to offer. It takes a while to learn to navigate through all the various topics and threads but don't be shy. We all had to learn... and it's worth the effort.
Best wishes with your music,
Dave

Hello Jackie,
what kind of collaboration do you have in mind? You're "mommy, wife, and songwriter" - that looks like you're looking for someone to perform or produce your songs, or maybe set your lyrics to music.
I write folk songs ("songs" standing for "music with words") - among other things - and am looking for people who perform and/or produce them. That's NOT you, I guess ;-)
Cheers, Bernd

Folk music seems to be a thing of the past.

Concert announcements today read "Singer-Songwriter" - that's actually Folk, I guess, it sounds like Folk ;-)

We should probably define 'folk music' for ourselves, collectively.

Hi David, I guess the music industry today is extremely but superficially fragmented because people are trying to establish their own "unique" selling points. Creating new genres is one tactic, no matter how minor their uniqueness is! When you look at opportunities, you'd see labels and music supervisors scream something like "in the vein of xxx." Ha ha. Thanks! Well, I'm not so sure. This site seems to be very nice and helpful, but not very lively. Maybe there are not much controversial topics here. It's a very friendly atmosphere, but too quiet in here! *waves hand* Best wishes with your music too, mate. Chopin
