Define folk

Folk music is a music genre that... hmmm... sounds folky
They play acoustic guitars and sing like if they had something to do with the roots of the land but they can't really read music

Sorry for mentioning Dylan in your thread, Pinhedz, hehehe but I once read that young folky Bob was talking to a jazz musician (I don't remember who, I think he was a pianist) and Bob told him he played folk songs. The jazz musician answered Bob "we all play folk". Maybe my memory doesn't serve me well, but their conversation was something like that.
Sometimes when I feel much like listening to folk and I listen to other music I kind of hear it sounding folky.
