It's funny, as someone who surfs, I, as well as most folks who have been at it a while, lament the increase in surfing's popularity, as the folks who took up the pastime during the pandemic have diminished the experience. Large numbers of these newbies got to work from home, and having hordes of unskilled people in the water was/is a nightmare. A disaster. As far as flamenco, I have accepted the fact that I have an interest, bordering on obsession, with an obscure art form, and I'm ok with it. I've been playing the guitar with professional musicians for more than forty years, but I have almost no interest in playing with the community I'm part of, because they don't play flamenco. My skills in flamenco are not at a professional level, so that regulates me to the status of an amateur, and I'm fine with that too. Flamenco's lack of popularity doesn't matter to me, as it doesn't affect my level of interest. For professionals in Spain, different story. I do somewhat understand it. The compas and the cante are not easily appreciated by most people, and even those with a casual interest don't come close to understanding what is happening. Heck, after thirty five years of interest and study, there are many things I don't understand either. When I learn a new falseta that has some crazy syncopation, or figure out some obscure detail about cante accompaniment, I'm alone with my satisfaction. I never anticipated this scenario, but here I am. With a handful of you guys on the foro....
