I, as a young man interested in folk music, believe that folk music will always be alive. But as things are evolving, so are people. Folk music is not cool. It never will be. If you tell people what sort music you are into you will be made fun of. But This can be changed.

Folk music. The name makes most young people either cringe or laugh. However, by calling it acoustic music or something similar you can play folk music and it is cool. People like jack johnson, james blunt (even if he is annoying) etc. are actually playing folk music.

Of course there is a future in folk music. Just not with that name.
