"The children of Folkies do seem to adopt a different image, even if they continue to play and like the music" -the children of most people seem to adopt a different image. That's what children do and always have done. Call it image,call it style, call it fashion - it's transient and superficial, and in our hearts we all knew it, even when we were young.

What's different about the children of folkies who stick with the music is that their music continues to be made within a tradition, and exists within a sub-culture that does not reject that which is old, and those who are old as disposable, or regard novelty as the only thing that counts.
