Folk music includes traditional folk music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th-century folk revival. Some types of folk music may be called world music. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, music with unknown composers, or music performed by custom over a long period of time. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that.
The contemporary folk music genre is defined as a primarily English genre utilizing traditional, acoustic instruments. Commonly the topics involve the plight of the common people (folk), including depression, oppression, and war. As the genre developed from traditional folk music, the music came to be known more for its storytelling, regardless of instrumentation and musicality.
