The significance of folk songs

I am a folk music lover. I have been able to distinguish folk songs from other kinds of music since high school, and I have been looking for folk songs to listen to. At first, folk songs and country music were often confused, thinking that they were both simple guitars with comfortable sounds. As you listen to more and more songs, you will gradually find that rural areas are more inclined to narrative and use more musical instruments.

Folk songs should be the simplest and easiest song written by civilians, which also makes the domestic folk circle mixed: too many people learn a few basic chords and dare to call themselves folk singers when they dabble in a few lyrics that hurt spring and grieve autumn. The main audience of folk songs is concentrated on adolescent children, who don't understand the taste and are easily moved by those so-called lyrics.

In my eyes, the biggest feature that distinguishes folk songs from other genres is authenticity. Good folk songs are textured and can be moved, and real works are more likely to move people. At present, there are only a handful of possibilities to do pure folk songs in the folk circle: Zhou Yunpeng, who criticizes the shortcomings of the times, Wan Xiaoli, who constantly explores his inner world, and the wild child who insists on creating northwest folk songs. Of course, these are also survivors, including Boss Zhao, who is old, the disbanded waist band, and Chen Jian, who still has several listeners. Of course, there are some others, but more people make up the numbers (sesame oil leaves are a joke).

I think the folk circle will become more and more popular because the younger generation is taller than the older generation.
