The "older school of Woody Guthrie or the younger school of Pete Seeger"? The two men were contemporaries: Guthrie was born in 1912 and Seeger in 1919. They were part of the same school! The fact that Seeger lived much longer than Guthrie isn't relevant here. Maybe you should have said the younger school of Dylan, Baez, Paxton, van Ronk, etc.
Sorry, amend that to "slightly younger", then, because it's important to stress that Guthrie largely made his name in the early 1940s while Pete is more commonly associated with the 1950s and Greenwich Village. That decade did make a difference between them; not to mention the more "scholarly" function of Seeger as a Kulturträger as opposed to Woody's more traveling minstrel-like image.
