Is this place infested with old punks?

Yup, a lot of old punks I know eventually drifted into the Exotica/Lounge scene, then to some degree or another, got into Tiki. A couple of us have tried to sit down and figure out exactly how that particular strand of DNA evolved. A lot of us used to hang out at Tiki Ti back in the late 70s/early 80s, long before there was any Tiki revival, so maybe that provided some impetus.

i think that basically, any creative trend or movement attracts creative people to some degree or other..those of us that were punks, eventually got into other things like tiki and rock a billy, usually a hybrid of all of these. tiki, punk, or what have you have always been creative "scenes" because they encourage creativity and free thinking....when stuff goes mainstream, it becomes static and rigid like a corpse that the final light has gone out of. We here are creative and we need our creative outlets....it's what separates us from the squares!! LOL
