They're different genres.


Dubstep is also not folk.

Folk isn't a genre, it's an attribute.

Bob Dylan swayed from being folk to being an elitist tnuc... but he mainly made rock n roll and country or blues.

The "genre" of folk got invented in the 90s by people working in record shops that needed to compartmentalise everything in the fucking world.

It's both. You're talking about one, I'm talking about the other.

Incidentally, Dylan had to go through exactly the same conversation when he decided it might be an idea to use amplified instruments.

Those people didn't understand Folk either, despite attending a Folk Festival.

Mike Skinner just a Judas really.

And my only reason for starting this tack a page or so ago was to try and express why it's moronic to call any genre "Folk". Mumford & Sons might belong to an extremely poorly named genre called "Folk" when they're sorted in HMV, but they're about as zeitgeist as Anne Frank and frankly this usage of the term can go fuck itself.

Anne Frank isn't Grime.

Only because they made her have a shower.

A holocaust joke, really?

And yet you kick off if someone gets called a tranny

Err, yes. Obviously.

One is a tongue-in-cheek play on the word "Grime" who's only subject has been dead for 69 years intended to lighten the tone of a conversation that was getting a bit too serious. The other is an insidiously acceptable slur used to reduce living members of our society to a level that they can be sidelined and downtrodden by a society that still doesn't fully accept them as equally human.

I was trying to kiss and make up, but just fuck off if that's how you want to converse.

J. Bryan Lowder wrote:Tranny, the highest-profile of these words, is both a slur and a term of endearment, a brand that can sting and a badge that can be worn with pride. And when some people cherish a word that others despise, who can be said to own it, to possess the authority to declare it fair or foul? It’s a vexing question, but one that we must consider, because the answer will go a long way in determining what the LGBTQ liberation movement—and liberation is the key word—looks like after gay marriage.

It's a shame there is such backward thinking in the world that still considers it solely as a slur. #WearWithPride.

Oh, go and join a Mens Rights rally and be done with it. You'll be saying it's ok for white people to say nigger next.

Not all words are for all people.

Tranny is not a folk word.

Woah there.

You quoted Public Enemy a few pages back, and now this?

Is all this aggro because you don't agree with my definition of folk?

I'm a bit confused if I'm honest.

It's not Grime.

words only have as much power as you give them

good job ruining this thread.


I know it's 13 years old but I haven't listened to pop music in the last 5 years so this is the only contribution I could come up with.

I am genuinely a bit confused here. Have I honestly pissed you off by making an Anne Frank joke, wub? If so, I'm genuinely sorry. I didn't realise people were still sensitive about that. I'll happily check myself.

Either way, we were having a typically fiery conversation about music and suddenly you've got extremely serious and tbh, pretty insulting... which is a surprise from you. I think I'm going to politely fuck off in this direction and maybe come back tomorrow.
