Without a doubt, part of what hinders new music from reaching a larger audience is fame; the fame of other bands, and individuals [Pop-culture & the past]. Sometimes people can't see past this, or their unwilling.
The 2nd, and possibly worse part - generally - is the choice of most people are determined by culture, environment, sex [& or preference], and intellectual growth [or lack thereof]. Of course this is not a straight line, and people are capable of choosing something different in music [although an outside influence is often needed].
Over the past 10 years my musical interest has grown -considerably - well beyond Reggae, Hip-Hop & R&B. In the last 3-5 I've come across some amazing bands, duos, ensemble's & individuals producing contemporary music. This is my list.
