Folk rock is a lot like folk revival, but now with electric instruments

Music is overall louder

The topic was not simple like love or romance

Songs were talked about controversial topics at the time like the vietnam war, racism, and more

Folk music was meant to send a message

Emphasis on lyrics

Was like poetry

Sometimes the music was not that good but the lyrics were monumental

There was more emotion put into it with the electric guitars, drums and etc

Bob Dylan was the first artist to combine electric instruments with folk music  with his single “Like a Rolling Stone” and performing it at the Newport Folk Festival

Everyone HATED it at first. They hated the idea of messy rock combining with folk

His fans called him a betrayer and other words

The purpose of this music i the same as the purpose of folk revival. These artists were tired of the same old folk music and wanted to try it in a different way
