antifolk

Roots in punk rock, combines raw, frequently politically charged attitudes of the punk scene with the sounds of American folk tradition. It sounds raw and poorly executed, but mocks the seriousness and pretension of the established mainstream folk scene, and also mocks itself.
Some say Beck has been influenced by the Antifolk scene in New York.
