Protest Folk is a genre of music that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s as a form of protest against the Vietnam War and other social and political issues. It is characterized by its use of acoustic instruments, often including guitar, banjo, and harmonica, and its focus on lyrics that express a message of social justice and political change. Protest Folk songs often feature themes of anti-war, civil rights, environmentalism, and other social issues. The genre is closely associated with the folk revival of the 1960s and 1970s, and many of its most popular artists, such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger, were part of the folk revival.
