[edit] Merger to American folk music?
- Oppose: Seems there is a trend here to merge things related to "Folk Music". American roots music has been merged to American folk music, while Roots music was merged into World music. While these terms all overlap and can at times be interchanged I don't think they are all identical. "Americana" for example is fairly well-defined as a radio format that does not usually inclued everything that might be considered American folk music. One is more or less a sub-set of the other. -MrFizyx 21:50, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge into Alternative Country?
The article basically says they're the same thing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.70.143.93 (talk) 08:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
- I disagree. Americana is more of a catch-all term. It includes bluegrass, and possibly some more urban folk music than what is generally considered alt.country. Of course it would be nice if someone would find sources describing these things and reference them... -128.146.34.232 00:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
