Is Infinite Jest so infinitely popular in the US because it's a nation obsessed/plagued with drugs?

It's more about quirkiness
Also the cover is oddly emblematic: it's not really beautiful, but it fits his context perfectly

Only about 300,000 copies sold. It isn't that popular. 50 shades of gray and Twilight kick IJ's ass. Mostly because American women are masochistic whores.

It's because Americans crave authenticity and are conditioned to think that if a book is written in an intentionally quirky or opaque way then it must be high quality.

It's infinitely popular because of an infinite supply of coastal metropolitan hipster pseuds.
