to me, Folk means Rooh Punjab Di :)

You guys were brilliant at PFDF, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Keep it up and keep it folk ;) clearly you guys already know what that means, regardless of other's (judges) comments...

Folk means moving on after a competition is over and not whining about it endlessly.

Folk is a word that will continue to be used in team slogans/mottos as a replacement to the swear word Fuck.

nah just kidding

Folk music can have a number of different meanings, but most commonly refers to Traditional music. The original meaning of the term "folk music" was synonymous with the term "Traditional music", also often including World Music and Roots music; the term "Traditional music" was given its more specific meaning to distinguish it from the other definitions that "Folk music" is now considered to encompass.
Folk music can also describe a particular kind of popular music which is based on traditional music. In contemporary times, this kind of folk music is often performed by professional musicians. Related genres include folk rock, electric folk and progressive folk music.

got it from a website my friend sent me a link to
