From Wikipedia
New Weird America is a music scene that emerged in the early 2000s. The term was coined by writer David Keenan in the August 2003 issue of British music magazine The Wire as a play on Greil Marcus's phrase "Old Weird America" from his book Invisible Republic which referred to music ranging from Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music to Bob Dylan. The movement is inspired by the folk music of the 1960s and 1970s, while encompassing psychedelic folk genres such as free folk and freak folk.
