folkster 

A young person, usually between the ages of 16-30, who has a particular love for folk music and country lifestyle. Sometimes referred to as a less-mainstream hipster, this kind of youngster has a keen love for banjos and mandolin. Usually can be found reading Steinbeck, drinking Foster's beer, and smoking cheap cigarettes. The women tend to have a more boy-ish hipster style, but can also be found with worn out white Converse and an Adidas T-shirt with sleeves rolled up to the shoulder. Will probably be daunting a pixie cut of a flat color, or long, wavy un-brushed hair. Men can be found sporting facial hair from a little scruff to a full on mountain-man beard. Clothing is typically channeling a 1930's/Great Depression feel, with vests, paper boy caps, skinny pants, and a belt buckle. More urban folksters can also be seen wearing flannel shirts and Urban Outfitter V-necks. Music taste consists of that of Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, Mumford & Sons, Noah & the Whale, The Apache Relay, etc... When asked, most folksters will say their favorite music genre is nu-folk.
Kid 1: Why are you playing a banjo, do you think you're some kind of hipster who loves musical instruments usually seen as red-neck?
Kid 2: No, I love folk music.
Kid 1: Oh, you're a folkster! My apologies.

folksiness 

What hideous under-qualification, gracelessness, and a stupefying lack of knowledge is played off as in modern politics. Conservatives are particularly guilty of this tactic, fond of using it to reel in working and middle class voters alienated by elitist, out of touch liberals who want to force affordable healthcare, safe working conditions, sane tax policy, and social protections on them and their families.

May also result in lucrative speaking engagements and an army of sign-toting morons falling all over themselves to sing the praises of a "hockey mom" making 2500% of their yearly salary.
