I (we) have had enough about folk revival of the 1950/60/70 we I say again are in 2019
Constant harking back to minutiae does not help and it is current state of what is on offer ~ not what people think others should be doing

Count me as one of the optimists. I mostly know and play with people much younger than me; it hasn't always been that way, and the reason is mainly that I like and respect them more than folk of my generation and older. They are more likely to have done their research (after all, there is far more available now) and they are less likely to subject everyone around them to displays of raving egomania. No kind of music is worth participating in if the prerequisite is perpetual arguments with self-righteous arseholes.
