is folk punk a thing? I feel like folk was already punk. I grew up on road trips listening to peter, paul, and mary, the best of. pennywise, nofx, bad religion had the same messaging to me. that said, i'll give a listen. i'm sure it'll be good.

Got it in one, Pogues and Violent Femmes in the 80s are probably where most folks started listening to folk punk.
I'm inspired to put on some Mischief Brew, or World Inferno/Friendship Society now, pretty sure that was the first proper folk-punk acts I listened to aside from Fairytale of New York.
You have to try Apes of the State, while you're at it. Headed by the crowd surfing woman in the video. Pipe Dream is one of my favourite albums. I would love to see them live.
