Thread Name: Can a pop song become traditional?
Subject: RE: Can a pop song become traditional?
Judging by the criteria laid down for a piece to become "traditional" and "folk" it would seem, in the 21st century, that we will witness the complete demise of traditional folk music.

Even Jim by recording material and placing it in the public domain is actively creating it's death.

So we'll have to stick to what the rest of us know as folk music.
