To me, Folk is music that is made to be simple and tell a story. They're often about what the singer/songwriter of the song have experienced, and what they think is going to happen. It also usually speaks for it's generation/culture at the time, and speaks for them the most, out of any music. But really, all music gives a standpoint on it's generation (ie, hip hop, punk, whatever else), but Folk kinda does it... best or most.

That's my definition.
