Generalizing from a limited geographical exposure can be highly inaccurate.
Here in Portland we have a dozen milongas every week, and all but one of them
play exclusively Golden Age tango. I've seen no suggestion that we won't
continue that tradition. We do also have a growing contingent of "nuevo"
dancers, mostly young, but most of them are well-behaved and there are only a
couple that have such poor floorcraft that you have to constantly pay attention
to them when they're in your vicinity.

P.S. "Baggy-cargo-pant-and-sneaker-jamboree" Very cute, Charles. I'll try to
use that line at one of the afternoon alternative milongas at the next Portland
festival in October. Speaking of which, the 4 or 5 evening milongas, with 300 -
500 in attendance, are strictly Golden Age tango. Don't see any demise here.
Detente, perhaps.
