The audience at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 booed Bob Dylan because he chose to perform with an electric band, departing from his traditional folk sound. Many in the crowd were purists who felt that his new style betrayed folk music's acoustic roots. The backlash reflected a broader tension within the folk music community regarding artistic evolution and authenticity. Dylan's shift marked a significant moment in music history, signaling the blending of genres and the rise of rock influences in folk music.
