"I can't understand why traditional and contemporary folk music can't exist side by side"
There are many places where they do coexist side by side....and they do so peaceably and to everyone's satisfaction too. I'm pleased to say I don't think I know anyone who likes or dislikes any song based entirely on the fact that the derivation is known or not known.
