	Folk music
		Folk music arose, and best survives, in societies not yet affected by mass communication and the commercialization of culture.
		Music in the standard major and minor scales evidently penetrated to the nearby rural areas, where it was converted to folk idiom, but nevertheless succeeded in displacing the old pentatonic music.
		Music, dance, and costumes remained together as they once had been in the rural communities: rather than merely reviving folk music, the movement revived broader folk traditions.

	Folk music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pattern of urban influence on folk music was intensified to outright destruction as soon as the capitalist economic system had developed to the point that music could be packaged and distributed for the purpose of earning a profit--in other words, when popular music was born.
		Yet in nations or regions where folk music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folk music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, Greece and Crete all of which retain their traditional music to some degree.
		Folk music is easily identified with the ordinary working people who created it, and preserving treasured things against the claimed relentless encroachments of capitalism is likewise a goal of many politically progressive people.

		While no one doubts that it is possible to note similarities between musical pieces, there are often exceptions and caveats associated.

		Doing a mix or mastering at a studio in a genre of music that you like gets more attention and dedication then doing a production in a genre of music you don't like, this is only logical.

		In a practical sense this selection in genre of music is done by listening to the music without engagement to actually take on the production, so I can freely determine if I'm suited to bring this production to a good end.
