Bands that combine indie rock/pop and 50's/60's folk music of artists such as Bob Dylan and Nick Drake. Early artists include Will Oldham and Elliott Smith. There are a lot of indie bands that have folk influences like The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie, however these bands are not considered indie folk since they are not traditional folk bands due to the use synthesizers and keyboards and strong elements of other genres such as grunge, power pop and psychedelic rock.
Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith, The Dodos and Iron and Wine are all indie folk artists.

Pop-folk is a music genre which is from the Balkan region of Europe.
Pop-folk has local names too, Chalga in Bulgaria, Turbo-folk in the former Yugoslav states, Manele in Romania, Laïko/Modern Laïka in Greece and Arabesque in Turkey.
Pop-folk is mainly performed in discothèques and occasionally performed in Concert halls.
Pop-folk is genre which is like Marmite (you like it or you don't like it).
There are many performers variating on country and the pop-folk stars also perform abroad for the diaspora.
Pop-folk music texts are mainly around the subjects of love, possessions, money and truths about life for example Relationship problems and pop-folk texts are very funny.
This is a example of a pop-folk text:
"100 Mercedes to have, 100 years to drive, 100 men to want my hand."
a lost soul, whom dwells near rivers/lakes. These mythical persons created out of the sledge of the saginaw river have grown in numbers the past decades. they are harmless, often have a strange odor to them, and wild beast-like hair.
Ahhhh, I'm sure that river folk could point me to the nearest river!
Smoke session with a group of friends.
It's better to smoke with folk then to smoke alone.
People that participate in the spread of gossip.
She's such a gossip folk. She told all her friends that I sleep around.

Turbo-folk is a style of music which is popular in the Balkan countries such as the former Yugoslav states, Romania and Bulgaria also known as Pop-folk . It is a mixture of Pop, traditional folk music, Roma/Gypsy music and oriental music.
Mainly sung in Serbian but the other former Yugoslav states have their own variations of turbo-folk too.
Performers: Dragana Mirković, Ceca, Lepa Brena, Jelena Karleuša, Vesna Zmijanac, Goga Sekulić, Viki Miljković and many more.
In the press turbo-folk can be seen by traditionalists as tacky, embarrassing and low quality music which to some people one can choose their own music of choice.
"I am not your wife tonight, this is not her bed, I am your live doll and your my sexy buisness man". That is an example of a Turbo-folk text.
