a music genre has limited growth because people are afraid of its link to drugs? 
i think question of how long it will take to be as prominent as hip-hop and rock-and-roll takes a backseat to question of whether it will ever become popular at all. even though we often look the same as the people across the oceans... our cultures are very different in many ways. to think: it's popular there... so it's only a matter of time before it's popular here is to gloss over a lot of cultural implications of why some music is popular and other genres are not.
