Anti-folk is a musical genre that developed in the 1980s in response to the mainstream commercialization of folk music. It is characterized by an experimental and DIY approach to songwriting and performance, often incorporating elements of punk, indie rock, and other genres. Anti-folk artists typically reject the polished, formulaic sound of mainstream folk music, instead favoring raw, unpolished, and often politically charged lyrics delivered with a sense of humor and irony. Some notable anti-folk artists include Beck, Moldy Peaches, and Kimya Dawson.
