Yikes!😅I’ll admit it, I laughed. One semester at #UNCFolklore, & I'm definitely not an expert. But tradition can get a bad rap, so I want to share a bit about how folklorists think about it. Because we love it. And hate it. And are still trying to define it. It’s complicated!

“And so, to bear it all, we sing — singing as sensemaking, singing as the supreme gesture that bridges lonelinesses, singing as the tonic gasp at the wonder of existence and the ravishing improbability of it all.” https://t.co/6cJonuRy5l
