There seems to be a strong belief among many that once something is no longer "underground" that it will become diluted and lose its appeal. It's odd to read things like that here on TC since as many people seem to fear its popularity as much as others try to promote its popularity.

I noticed that too. I personally don't "preach" the word of tiki. I believe someone should begin collecting and appreciating things that they like themselves not simply because I talked them into thinking its cool. Someone who doesn't discover this genre for themselves is no different than someone who collects Beanie Babies simply because its the "hot thing" right now.
