freak-folk
n.— «Freak-folk is the dumbest shit ever. It’s the most unimaginative, crude, insulting label to call the music that my friends have made. None of us said it. It’s the worst tag or label to be called. I never, ever, ever called anything any of my friends, or not friends, have done, freak-folk.» —“Local Limelight: Q & A With Devendra Banhart” by Ben Horowitz in Arizona State University Web Devil (Tempe) Apr. 27, 2006.
