History / USA
English term or phrase: folk revival
When it comes to music, the United States created a number of popular music genres, including jazz, rock and roll, folk revival, house music, and country music.

I almost think that it shall stay folk revival in Eng but just want to be 100 percent sure. Tks!

modern folkmusik
Explanation:
Förutom att texten i princip väl har fel, så är det väl snarast den sortens modern folkmusik som i Sverige representeras av Garmarna och Hedningarna? Kolla in Wikipediaartikeln i ämnet. SÅ folkrock eller modern folkmusik skulle jag kalla det (som ändå varit på lite folkmusikstämmor det senaste decenniet). Däremot absolut INTE neofolk, det är något annat.
