What is tiki? - General Tiki

C'mon, let's tell'em what Tiki is, again and again, without fear offending any sensibilities, that is what this site is meant for. They are free to take it or leave it. I too bemoan the days when more original Tiki brethren participated, but to withdraw into ones own cocoon of the perfect Tiki world is simply misanthropical, and passive-regressive. I try to remember Don Blanding's words about Hawaii and apply them to the Tiki Revival: "HAS HAWAII changed? What hasn't and who hasn't? Tomorrow's "Good Old Days" are happening today. Let's make them good old days NOW."
