How many Christians do you know who fast, or pray the daily hours? How many who are devout enough to respond when someone takes the name of the Lord in vain? As a cultural stream "Trads" are definitely distinct from Conservative Protestantism or the evangelical movement.

I've spent a good amount of time and effort distancing myself from religion and specifically Christianity for about 20 years.

So 0.

Before making such an effort in thought were you even aware of such a subculture?

I get why you might not want to participate in the those things but the point that Trads as a counterculture phenomenon are new and distinct from the previous mainline Protestant or evangelical Christian cultural movements.

How are Trads a new counter culture when they range in age from 16 to 85?
