Well, I don't have answers, just ideas. I think poetry that challenges thought in an entertaining and refreshing way should, for one thing, try to appear less niche. How? Well, one of the main topics of this thread is social media, so, by using mainstream social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram to promote this type of poetry, not the ones that, as Leanne said, appear to belong nailed on some family room wall. Another way, which was discussed in another thread, is to make learning about poetry more fun in primary/secondary schools. I know I didn't give a damn about it in high school until the latter portion of my senior year but that could've been just me.
Outside of social media, I would also suggest that people not be afraid to talk about it in real life. As long as the person talking about it seems genuinely passionate about the art form and not pretentious, people should appear interested. My two cents.
