What's the difference between rock and folk songs?

1, the number of instruments is different.

As for musical instruments, there is no limit to the instruments for singing rock, and folk singers can only play with an acoustic guitar.

2. Different voices

As for singing, rock singers may try to find their own timbre, while folk singers think their voices are better than songs.

3. The number of albums is different

As for the album, a rock singer can't make a record for ten thousand years, and a folk singer can use his home address as the title of the album.

4. Hearing is different.

Auditively, rock and roll emphasizes a strong sense of rhythm, impact and explosion (for example, the middle part of the music is quiet, and the suddenly entered instruments play together), emphasizing the impact of the lyrics and the sense of singing.

Folk songs emphasize the beauty of melody, euphemistic lyrics and the magnetism or softness of the singer's voice. And emphasize peace, lightness and gentleness in rhythm.

Extended data:

Rock originated in the United States in the late 1940s and became popular in the early 1950s, which quickly swept the world. Rock music is loved by most people all over the world because of its flexible and bold expression and passionate music rhythm, and it has formed a craze in 1960 and 1970.

Folk songs are rich in content, including religion, love, war, labor, drinking, dancing, festivals and so on. Folk songs express the feelings and habits of a nation, so each capital has its own unique scale and emotional style.

For example, the prosperity of French folk songs, the enthusiasm of Italian folk songs, the simplicity of English folk songs, the indignation of Japanese folk songs, the wildness of Spanish folk songs and the tears of China folk songs all show strong national temperament and color.
