This. It's a fad. No genre can truly last without real instruments.

Indie Folk is a fad. While the best will carry on to classicdom, everything else will be embarrassing ten years from now.
Hippity hop will be remembered forever. The revolution going on right now is just like 1967. And NOTHING from that period has aged badly, right?

In slightly related news, I don't believe the lifetime of a genre determines its impact on music in general e.g. My Bloody Valentine's Loveless (shoegaze) or Portishead's Dummy (trip hop). I'm horrible with differentiating genres, so won't comment much further, but I will say subgeneres today tend to pop and die within a matter of months (/a couple of years) e.g. chillwave, vaporwave, etc.

I know. But there's a fine line between fad genres that are positively fetishized (trip-hop) and ones that are walking punchlines (nu metal).

Ugh. People who like Mumford and Sons and The Lumineers and Of Monsters And Men and all of them.
I remember hearing someone say just how original Mumford and Sons were and I could bearly hold back my deep amalgamating anger.
As far as I'm concerned pop and folk are on opposite ends of the spectrum, and should never mix. Ever.
