    1) It's differant
    2) It appeals to rebellious youth
    3) It's active... encourages action vs. prayer/etc
    4) It encourages the use of marijuana, thus further appealing to youth

    edit: No, I'm not a Rasta, but if you must ask me a question, you can find my email address under my profile, leave the comment box for commenting. I'll pretend you had something to say, seeing as you rated me "incorrect", so here's the evidence for my answer in an except from Dictionary.com:

    rastafari

    n : a Black youth subculture and religious movement that arose in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1950s; Rastafarians regard Ras Tafari as divine; males grow hair in long dreadlocks and wear woolen caps; use marijuana and listen to reggae music [syn: Rastafari, Rastas]
