Devendra says 'freak folk' stupid & tacky term
"It would be very different if I felt comfortable with those terms like 'freak folk,' 'avant-folk,' 'New Weird America,' all that shit," remarks Banhart. "If I felt comfortable with those terms, it would be different. It would perhaps be something I felt responsible for or nervous about or the weight of. But I'm so turned off by – and want to have SO little to do with - these stupid and tacky and horrible terms that they mean nothing to me." [Devendra to Jam Base]

Okay, instead of "freak folk," how about "hippie noodling crapfest?"
