Talk:Anti-folk

Merge with Folk Punk
The genre's are so similar that I feel like a successful merger of the articles could be a good option. If there are no contrary opinions stated within a week, I will probably do it. --Wesborden (talk) 07:57, 30 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Beyond early Billy Bragg, I'd disagree that the genres are that similar. Anti-folk (at least in the U.S. context) is much more one person, one instrument (thinking Roger Manning, Lach, Cindy Lee Berryhill) with a focus on wordplay and lyrical complexity, compared to the broader range of instrumentation of folk punk (thinking particularly of Celtic Punk and Gypsy Punk).

 * Counter argument, Pat the Bunny (musician)'s solo work, AJJ as a soloist, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace as a solo accoustic act, all of which are known for intense lyricism. --Wesborden (talk) 14:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

I tend to view genre names as terms first. These two genre terms seem to have very different definitions. North8000 (talk) 14:39, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
