Tiki is like goatees, or long hair, or goatees and long hair. For awhile you and your long hair are labeled freak, and uncool. Then you grow a goatee just to spite the people who now think you're a menace because of your facial hair.

Then you begin to notice people with hair below their collars. Then they are sporting goatees. But then after about two years, the mainstream decides that the whole look is now passe.

So while the mainstreamers fall by the wayside me and my goatee and tiki mugs and such will be quite happy. And amused when the cycle repeats itself...
