GaGa over the folksy revival

Lady GaGa is driving us back into the arms of simple, clean, pure, fun-loving, heart-breaking music.
Folksy acts have always existed on the fringe for the last 20 years, with the occasional act bursting through. Dylan’s omnipresence has refused to let the indie spirit die.
But, how can one explain the recent fame of The Secret Sisters, Mumford & Sons and The Fleet Foxes.
These are more than just a shuffle option on the pod of techno-weary music lover.
These guys are mainstream. I can only point to the over-sophistication of today’s pop music as the reason.
