It's extremely popular especially among the kind of musicians that get together to play. As a label, it conveys a lot. I'm not an oldtime player myself but have sat in on it, and I bet I'd recognize a lot of the tunes you play. Plus I can see myself clicking in on an open jam with that checked. It doesn't get much radio play, but boy there's a lot of it "in the wild."
Wikipedia links Traditional to Folk.
Definitely check "Traditional" and "Folk" in your profiles/jams, though. I think that would get the message through.
The Wikipedia description of Americana matches what I expect (and I call myself an Americana musician): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americana_(music)
I feel for the JK team. Getting a list of genres right is a thankless task that is always wrong from some point of view.
