Do you enjoy folk music ?

If by folk music you mean Peter, Paul, and Mary and the Limelighters, no. If by that you mean Mississippi John Hurt, LeadBelly, and Woody Guthrie, then yes.

Love folk music.

This is as folk as I get:

I hate it.

I was in high school and college undergrad during most of the 1960s during the so-called Folk Music era in the U.S., i.e. The Kingston Trio, The New Christy Minstrels, Phil Ochs, etc. And, yes, I pretty much hated it and still do, except for the occasional individual song. I was a typical ‘60s teen, into Top 40 radio and, late in the decade, the British Invasion. I was also getting more and more into concert music (a.k.a. “classical” music) which remains my major musical interest.

However, I have lately been getting back into earlier popular music (the 1930s & ‘40s, e.g. George Gershwin and Swing) and now enjoy the first Bob Dylan albums for their strong feeling for the times they were recorded. Mainly, it is a nostalgic trip, but I now like them even though I never considered buying them when they first came out.
