Looks like it may be time to embrace and encourage the interest of the broader populous in all aspects of NS and its trappings, however distasteful we personally find some of the styles within the genre, so as to promote a "retro-cool" identity in the hope that will buy more time?
Commercial exploitation of "the scene/ scenes" may be an unwelcome catalyst for longevity?
Live and let live would seem to be the way to go then.
Otherwise lie down and accept that technology will overcome.....and sell, sell, sell!
