As with a lot of terms in common usage, the definition of “folk music” various among many different sources.

Here’s what Britannica has to say:

http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9390003/folk-music

And Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folk_song#Defining_folk_song

And dictionary.com:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/folk%20music

If I were you, I would mention one or two of the above, then focus the rest of the essay on what “folk music” actually means to YOU.

Good luck with the essay!!
