    Update: moved the chart to the appendix and rewrote slide 3 as the feeling. The deck is two slides shorter and reads better. Thanks, room.

    Counterpoint, sort of: divergence is interesting. If $FOLK chatter is up but new releases in the space are thin, that gap is the pitch. Supply lagging conversation. Still not advice, still no peace of…

    Speaking as someone who reads a lot of decks secondhand: the ones that age badly name a trend. The ones that age well name a feeling. 'Grief in a small community' outlives 'folk horror is hot.'
