History
Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Some types of folk music are also called world music.
Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.
Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it from earlier folk forms.^[1] Smaller similar revivals have occurred elsewhere in the world at other times, but the term folk music has typically not been applied to the new music created during those revivals. This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, folk metal, electric folk, and others. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional folk music, in English it shares the same name, and it often shares the same performers and venues as traditional folk music. Even individual songs may be a blend of the two.

Examples that are similar



This is the band called Mumford and Sons. They are a male folk group. Their sound is very similar to our chosen band as they are very upbeat and mainly live, even though our band is all female. The lyrical style for this band and our chosen band are similar in the sense that they are very relationship orientated. The way the band are dressed and set up are also similar to our band as they are simply dressed with instruments on stage performing for a audience.   



This is a band called En Vogue. This band is an all girl group which our chosen band take inspiration from but they are very similar as they are all girl groups and have soul like music even though our chosen band is more folk. The lyrical style of this band and ours is also similar as they are again relationship orientated but as they are both girl groups they are more simailar as they are doing their songs from a girls point of view rather than a guys. The dress and set up of both bands are very different. En Vogue is more pop styled video where as The Sound of Sirens are more performance on a stage.
