Consumption grew into amateur composition and performance. By the sixties: boundary between performer and audience was (ideally) erased. The early sixties: folk music becomes integral to youth cultures. Its development into folk-rock and rock was the core of the decade"s counterculture . Passage from folk to folk rock and rock: impact on movies. Representations of the relation between audience and performer. These features seemed to correspond to vernacular music. But like folk, direct cinema would eventually engage with rock n" roll.
