I think its hard for us who are hardcore into tiki too see it go mainstream. its like that band we discovered and no one else knew about it or what you were talking about. Then all of the sudden their into it when moments before they had no clue. But thats just the way it is. HumuHumu and Swanky on the first page of this thread put it well. Their are those who are really going to be into it and know the history etc, and those who just like it and dont know much about it. I for one think that its cool to see tiki get out, but seeing it become too popular in its way destroys it for me. Its like the band thing I mentioned above. Im pretty sure most of you understand what im talking about. Im starting too see tiki everywhere now and im like "damn it" :wink:. But its all good. Its just then way it is. Tiki is escapisim and people enjoy that.
