While Rasta is ancient, the reemergence of this knowledge came under a specific set of circumstances and through no accident this took place for the most part in certain parts of the Caribbean. The popularity of the external symbols such as dreadlocks, ganja, and even reggae music, which play for the most part to the limited human senses, have diluted what has come to be known as Rastafari to mostly a fashionable trend. I would say, if left at this stage without further investigation, then that is about as far as one will go.
