Another trend is "antifolk," begun in New York City in the 1980s by Lach [3] in response to the confines traditional folk music.

Determined to carve out her own space in music, determinedly independent antifolk artist Jaymay has garnered an impressive amount of acclaim and a dedicated following in a couple of short years.
Antifolk, which Jaymay describes as a group of "people who hate people," has spawned the successful careers of counterparts Regina Spektor and Nellie McKay.
But unlike some of her antifolk peers, Jaymay placed herself outside the circle of piano ticklers and guitar cradlers at the onset of her career, allowing her to first embrace her own musicality through self-meditation and find solace in her independence.
