“The music sub-genre known as anti-folk (or antifolk) takes the earnestness of politically charged 1960s music and subverts it. The defining characteristics of this sub-genre are hard to pin down, as they vary from one artist to the next. Nonetheless, most would accept that the music tends to sound raw or experimental; it also generally mocks the seriousness and pretension of the established mainstream music scene in addition to mocking itself.” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-folk)

Some bands/songwriters considered by themselves or others to be Anti-Folk are: Lach, Jeffrey Lewis, Pete Green, Sgt BuzFuz, Filthy Pedro, and Superman Revenge Squad.
