I love me some foot ox, sarcastic dharma society and The taxpayers. Portland seems like a place to be.

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.



Why would you complain? Clearly it's a white form of music; it was originated by white musicians, continues to be dominated by white musicians, and draws upon white cultural history. What I find annoying about it is the blatantly disingenuous nature of the lyrics and subculture.
So you're offended by white people dissavowing racism? Also, it is more "Scotch-Irish immigrants in America" than "white". It's not like they're playing spanish or polish music or something.

Not sure if it is straight up folk punk, but is acoustic punk. One of the nicest guys I have talked to as well.

I'm really into Oxygen Thief atm. All the ferocity of a grunge band but, it's one guy with his acoustic guitar.

I think folk punk is incredibly juvenile and aside from a few Defiance Ohio albums I almost never listen to it anymore. Stuff like The Pogues is great; though I wouldn't associate it with todays style of Folk Punk.

This Bike is a Pipe Bomb is my favorite, although Defiance, Ohio and a few other bands are cool too. I like the sound of the sub-genre as a whole. I met Terry from This Bike a couple years ago, she made me dinner. She's very cool and has a vegan restaurant in Pensacola. Just another reason to endorse someone's music.

I usually don't listen to much folk punk at all. But on tour my friend showed me Frank Turner. I really like him and think he is considered folk punk. He uses all hardcore logos and imagery. He also mentions stuff like "skins and punks" in his songs and has a black flag tat. I'm down.
