A style of acoustic music that is played in very upbeat tempos, with an emphasis on making light of often dark themes, ie. alcoholism, double homicides, death, and drowning. This style of music was first pioneered by the Pogues, mainstreamed by Great Big Sea, and lives on in bands such as Troll 2 and the King's Busketeers.
