twee diminutive 'folkie'

Yes, Mr Ginger.
I spoke out vehemently against that too.
It's not what I am.
My musical horizons are higher and wider.
"Folkie" is a vile, outdated, denigrating term which no longer has any meaning.
If you mean your passion is trad music, say so.
If you actually mean that what you like is MOR tripe, then go somewhere else.
Not hard.
