Actually Chaotic (Free spirited, independent) elves? Would probably not have a society in short order... instead, they'd be rugged individualists off on their own living in the wild lands, farming, hunting, fishing, building their homes. Coming together only to mate and raise a child before going off on their own, again. Unattached to people, places, or identities beyond their own weird enjoyments out in the woods. They might swing by a friend's place, now and then, or entertain the occasional visitor... but mostly they'd just be alone.
That's a
lot of assumptions that aren't supported by anything more than common association of traits.
Anarcho-communist communities of tight knit families that share resources and challenges and communally raise young are just as likely.
I'd say they're just as likely, but the potential irony isn't lost on me. We all have our biases.
Oh, sure, they might come to town now and then to take in the local Art Scene and see what's changed in theatre and music every couple decades...
You're right. I bet I could find someone writing Disco today. Or Motown music. Or Classical.
Not only that, but the styles that have come up since the advent of the internet haven't even gone away in the sense that those have. Classical has gone nowhere, btw, other than to transition from the music we go to the venue to hear, to the music we hear at the music and judge the thing we are there to see in part by, and like everything else....
It's all part of the new music. All of it. Listen to Coheed and Cambria's new album, and you'll hear elements from musical traditions and movements from every decade back to at least the 70's, as well as classical symphonies and the like.
And that will only become more and more the case over the next several decades.
But in the next few years I won't be able to buy a car with windows that roll down using a crank because there won't be any left. That design is gone, and all the parts to repair it are rusted or discarded. Not unless I can make it myself or hire a machinist to do it as a custom order.
I sell autoparts for a living, and I'm here to respectfully let you know that you are objectively incorrect about this. You can, if you own a popular vehicle like a honda civic or a ford pickup, buy relacement parts for your manual window control lever at literally any autoparts store in the United States.
And I could sell my beat up 1995 toyota t100 pickup for $2k right now, no problem. as much as 10k if I spent about a thousand fixing her up, mechanically and cosmetically.
Heck, do you know how recently cars in the US still came with the option for manual everything?
maybe if we switch years to decades. Maybe.
In another couple generations I won't be able to have a Uranium Glass Lamp or Chandelier because time and damage go hand in hand, glass being what it is, and no one making uranium glass anymore.
This one doesn't especially move me, because it's not like someone can't make a product that mimics uranium glass. It's not like green, semi-transparent glassware will go extinct.
