Your exact question, Jim
You might try explaining how you would describe a folksong to a newbie
And I did.
No mention of tradition. As far as I am concerned folksong encompasses both traditional and contemporary. Many others agree. Perhaps the contention is that your definition of folk music only encompasses traditional song. If so, fair enough, we can agree to disagree.
