I have been playing almost 40 years and continue to learn what ever is I am doing. I really don't listen much to what's going on in the banjo world cause I rarely play with banjo players. There are certain players I keep an eye on though. Adam Hurt comes to mind. I think I am unusual in that I do not mind playing in sessions with other banjo players. The way I grew into it was there were always other players. It was about community and bringing others along. I never knew it was poo poo-ed till I started going to festivals and there was all this uptight attitude about banjos. I always thought if the banjo players pay as much attention to each other as the fiddlers pay to each other it would work out ok. Ok? But for the most part, for me, it's about the fiddlers and those small knee to knee sessions are always choice. I play mostly in the midwest with occasional trips to the north, east, south and west. Also...if it is not fun I skip it.
