LP? It's still flourishing
By whatever criteria one might use to come to
that conclusion, one could also say that Latin
is a flourishing language and the Eutruscans
are a flourishing people.
That's not to deny that there are peaople selling
and buying LPs, but it continuously amazes me how
one can take a product whose current sales are but
a small fraction of what they once were and call
that "flourishing."

Flourish

[no object] (of a living organism) grow or develop in a healthy or
vigorous way, especially as the result of a particularly congenial
environment:
The market for new LPs has grown in a healthy and vigorous way for the
past decade or so. Particularly in the last three years. that would be
the criteria by which one can accurately and reasonably say that the
market is flourishing
Now can the same be said of your examples? Have the number of people
speaking Latin grown at a rate that one could describe as healthy or
vigorous? has the Eutruscan population grown in the past decade in a
way that could be described as vigorous? I'm thinking not.
