What does FOLKY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalmusic
Resembling or characteristic of folk music, folk culture, or ordinary people, especially in style or taste.
A folky song, singer, or venue draws on the plain, communal feel of traditional folk music rather than polished pop production. The word also describes anything that feels down-to-earth and connected to ordinary people rather than an elite or fashionable crowd. In American slang it can even label a person who plays folk music, though that use is closer to the spelling folkie.
