Hip-hop or freak folk (5)
I believe the answer is:
genre
'hip-hop or freak folk' is the definition.
(I know that hip hop is a genre)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for genre that I've seen before include "Artistic or literary category" , "Style (of art/literature)" , "Green (anag)" , "Type or style, of art" , "Category of literature" .)
