Gengetone had a meteoric rise to popularity, but its quick demise can be attributed to a few key points. First, the spread of the genre was largely restricted to certain urban areas in Kenya. Without the proper outreach and promotion, the genre was unable to expand its reach to other cities or countries. Second, the content of Gengetone music was often regarded as vulgar and inappropriate. Many believed that the lyrics of the songs were too explicit and generally not suitable for public consumption. Lastly, its failure to meet standards of quality held by some of the larger record labels might have hindered its growth. Without the support from major labels, Gengetone lacked the backing needed to sustain its popularity and eventually fade away.
