Is it appropriate to see the tradition associated with a community?

In true folkloric terms a community can consist of as few a two people. These two people might have their own culture, language, folklore, traditions and folk music - just as long as these people are Human Beings, the rest of it occurs as a consequence of the psycho-social nature / nurture that defines our Humanity.

As I asked (rhetorically) in the OP: To what extent might the revival be said to be a Tradition in and off itself regardless (and irrespective as much (if not most) of it obviously is) of what may (or may not) have gone before?
