Thread Name: What makes a new song a folk song?
Subject: RE: What makes a new song a folk song?
lots and lots of people singing it and passing it on and perhaps thinking it is traditional...I would say a song written last week could be and most would not agree with me..but some can go viral now...but i odn't think you can write one with the intention of it being a folk song and just declare it so. Lots and lots of people have to like it and sing it.
