One musician, seated at the famed Molly Malone statue at the bottom of Grafton Street, noted how no one in Ireland would refer to this type of music as ‘Irish music’ or ‘folk music,’ but only as ‘trads,’ short for traditional.
One girl noted how it’s been hard to keep the interest in trad music alive in younger generations with the seemingly ubiquitous nature of pop music today, but she’s hoping that events like TradFest and the annual Fleadh will help keep the tradition afloat.

"craic' is such a stupid word. It refers to an opportunity to binge drink and appear to be culturally cute.
