The current economy is being compared to the Great Depression of 1930's. Depression Chic is creeping onto the runway. The look of "Americana" is derived from cotton farm dresses, Amish attire, somber colors, suspenders, and brim hats.
The Folkies play music inspired by Old Time or original country music of the nineteenth century. Folk music is associated to Hippies for the influence of 1960's music, however Folkies play original works and dress in depression era looks and keep short hair.
In Appalachia, the Old Time music and hand sewn garments can be viewed as street fashion of mountain roads and coal mine rails.
