You folks need to get out more.

The folk revival may be long gone, but folk music is not finished by a long shot.

You can't cling to the same names and worry because Tom Paxton and Arlo Guthrie aren't drawing full houses anymore. Just because some names age or pass on, that does not mean it is over. The music is safe and sound and in good hands of a younger generation who are doing things THEIR way - exactly the same attitude you all had when you were young.
