"Steampunk" Tiki should definitely be the next Revival genre !!

Rather than mixing Steampunk's Victorian aesthetic and literally applying it to Tiki, I think we should take that same retro future approach and apply it back even further to Polynesian primitivism. The Professor on Gilligan's Island had it right when he would invent products of the industrial age out of bamboo, thatch, and coconuts. We just need to take it to the next step.

Someone should take the Victorian-style time machine below and recast it Tiki-style...

And we could have a travel show where the Bigbro could go back in time each week in his bamboo Tiki time machine and visit some long lost Tiki temple.

He might even be able to alter time so we could live in a future where original Tiki-style never went away, it just got bigger !!

Just think, a society completely governed by a mysterious voice emanating from behind the Kahiki fireplace Moai.

And a "Book of Tiki" inside every hotel bedside dresser. :D
