NeoPrep might be interesting. Your quest isn't.
NeoPrep in Paris:
I might be wrong in this, but I believe that is incorrect. The following article fom the New York Times in 1990 states that the Japanese called(and still do) Ralph Lauren as "trad". While Ralph Lauren is essentially very preppy, I can't help but think that "trad" was imported back to the United States by a handful of Americans enthusiastic about a more classical style.
All this drivel about the history of the term "Trad" is tiresome, and you are making it up. I know it is false because a man in France told me it is. In any event, you are only distracting us from the point of this thread which is to see if you can insert a new term into the lexicon.
"Trad" is simply a new name for an older Americana style, which definitely predates 2004. Who gives a sh*t who came up with it first? It's irrelevant. It works. It's catchy.
You absolutely get it.
^ I actually quite admire that as a quality in American culture and as a businessman I can see how it makes good financial sense too (to introduce a vulgar note).
Why pretend to a tradition that you don't represent?
Because that is about an American a thing to do as anything Americans do.
