....easily 50% of the street musicians are of that brand of young, unwashed, unkempt carny folks playing that old-timey vaudevillian folk music.
I've noticed these vagabonds before, but it seems they've now infested the FQ. They're like their own sub-class of human. It's like they're casting rejects from Oliver Twist.
Do these people suck? Or am I being too get-off-my-lawnish?

I feel like mumford and sons are partly to blame in some way

They've been down there for years. I agree the gutter punk problem has worsened, but I don't mind themz kids clawing on the banjo and mandolin all day, as long as they're not harrassing tourists for beer money. If you spend time down there you'll notice who hangs with whom and which ones are mixed up in the hard dope. A few of the musically inclined groups are pretty impressive, especially some of the rouses supermarket hangers. The late night Frenchman dope heads are pretty obnoxious- or at least the side-show crew that bums the stoop with them. Love this city, even the transient train hoppers.

It really is a disconnect between the street musicians and the culture/environment. I'd expect to see those types in Asheville or something. In New Orleans, give me the high school band trumpet/trombone player or the elementary school kids tapping in bottle caps.

I stayed around and listened to one band like that for 3 or 4 songs tipped them and moved on. They were extremely talented. It was hard to leave.
