Are fewer and fewer people being attracted to traditional music ?

I am NOT a traditional-music singer. Have neither the memory nor the skill. But it is a music I listen to interspersed with rock, blues, modern folk, bluegrass, country, singer-songwriter stuff (I've heard it before), classical, jazz, etc. So, this is a serious question.

I expect the first reactions to the thread title will be scintillating. After that, perhaps we could address the issue.

When we drop dead, and fewer and fewer people are attracted to traditional music, what then will become of the music?
