For those of you who really want to know, many members of folk-punk bands are actual grown adults, are from the country, and are not white (...okay, so most of them are white, but not all! The singer from Defiance Ohio isn't, and who knows who else). And the reason that truckers don't listen to THIS Bike is a Pipe Bomb, not "The Bike is a Pipe Bomb", is that truckers don't generally like punk. And also most of them probably don't even know who TBIAPB is. Last edited by levio_sah; 04-20-2011 at 09:49 PM. |

BLACK PEOPLE LOVE FOLK PUNK! Really, that reaction is too hilarious. I love listening to white kids play music about smashing racism, at a concert attended by 95%+ white kids.... it's funny ****. "LOOK, A MINORITY! VINDICATION!" Quote:

Here's a post that has nothing to do with the pointless arguing that has been going on in this thread.
New Spoonboy album! The Papas | Spoonboy /happiness.

anyone a fan of foot ox ? fantastic stuff. folk punk thats too focused on political themes is a bore to listen too. just love the easy to sing a long folk punk songs, i think its what makes the genre so appealing.

I love the Pogues but I thought this was folk punk..
at least what we call it here in 'murica. More like stuff Will Oldham pioneered than the Pogues did and definitely more than Billy Bragg.

As far as race goes, I'M NOT WHITE. If anybody complains about white people crowding out shows, it should be me, not you, who are a white supremacist. edit: or a really really annoying troll. |

Ok, let's get something straight: "tramps" are not tramps when they do so voluntarily, and are hopping trains & hithchiking because it's neat and they want adventure. They are not tramps when they have mommy and daddy to fall back on. And you certainly do not qualify as poor (as far as one can be poor in the USA) when you have your parents health insurance to fall back on. 90%+ "tramps" that go to Folk punk shows fall into the above categories; the remainder tend to be some combination of junkies, alcoholics and tweakers. Good crowd, that.
Really, it's no accident that you're more likely to find folk punk fans at a 30k+/per annum university than a community college. It's a genre for rich kids dressing down. Quote:

But...damn Aesop Rock did a track with Kimya Dawson. Actually they've been performing live together at a few different gigs is more like it, but with fresh material. It's a fantastic mashup, and Aesop on a similar but different level. Happy days! |
