Folk Punk is what you get when you [[GenreMashup combine]] the simplicity and authenticity of PunkRock with, well, the simplicity and authenticity of FolkMusic. Like PunkRock, the genre leans on ThreeChordsAndTheTruth, with simple song structure and an emphasis on sincere or sarcastic lyrics over musicality. It also shares punk's DIY culture and associated production values. Like FolkMusic, folk punk makes heavy if not sole use of acoustic instruments, including traditional folk instruments, which tends to lower its rank on the MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness. Generally, Folk Punk is faster and has more of a punky beat than folk music, and is characterized by HarshVocals that may be nasal, off-key, or otherwise non-traditional.

Celtic Punk, which fuses traditional Irish Music with punk and rock sounds, can be considered a subgenre. Anarchist punk is another subgenre that dips into the ProtestSong heritage of folk music to focus on [[CapitalismIsBad anti-Capitalist]] and anarchist political messages. Some artists may overlap with Anti-Folk as well.

Compare StreetPunk, AlternativeCountry, FolkMetal.
