Anti-Folk is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the East Village of New York City. It is a blend of folk music and punk rock, and is characterized by its DIY aesthetic, often featuring lo-fi production and unconventional instrumentation. The lyrics are often humorous, ironic, and often deal with topics such as love, heartbreak, and social issues. Anti-Folk is often seen as a reaction to the commercialization of folk music, and is often seen as a more subversive and experimental take on the genre.
