There are more trad climbers today than ever before. However, the percentage of climbers who trad climb is down from say 10 years ago. So, trad had decreased in popularity among more and more climbers.

I think it'd be more accurate to say that very few of the people getting into climbing are getting involved in trad. Let's not forget that climbing has exploded in popularity over the past ten years overall...so I guess it's accurate to say that trad is unpopular amongst the newer generation. At the moment.

I wouldn't say it declined in popularity, I'd just say there's a large new population that is uninterested/unwilling/uninsertyourreasonhere.
