I think the whole mythology behind it is dieing out i.e the godfather, men of honour, respectability. But theres always gonna be gangster and criminals so it will live on but it wont have that aura around it that it used to meaning that you wont get as many wannabes and recruits. This wont happen for years yet though because you still have shows like mob wives on that glamorises it. i dont think you could do that with any other group of criminals, imagine RUSSIAN SEX TRAFFICKERS WIVES or BALTIMORE DRUG LORDS WIVES.
