Traditional Modern Folkhop is a genre of music that came about after the decline[citation needed] of bhangra in the mid-1990s.
This 'vocal only' recording is then sold on websites involved in the buying and selling of folkhop music.
The DJs then pay a small sum for the rights to these vocals, and then set the music using looped samples of both hip hop and traditional folk instruments.
Whereas bhangra music was centered on bands delivering live performances with focus on instrumentation (as evidenced by bhangra videos), folkhop shares with rap and hip hop "common textual aspects, as well as similarities in their onstage and video performance practices: an obsession with materialism, or an expressed desire or boasting of "bling", in the form of jewelry, wealth or clothing"[1] It also features an obsession with farming and rural lifestyle such as livestock, tractors traditional clothes etc.
Many folkhop videos showcase rappers and folk singers in the midst of farms or riding on tractors.
