Polynesian Pop Tiki vs Buffett Tiki

Natural wooden Tiki statues vs Natural wooden Tiki statues painted in multi-colours in the 80's

Martinis vs Tequila slammers

Mai Tai's vs Margaritas

Monkeys vs Parrots

50's/60's vs 80's/90's

Vividly coloured Hawaiian shirts made of bark cloth or polyester which stay vivid 30 years later vs vividly coloured Hawaiian shirts printed on flat cotton which fades in the first wash

Polynesia vs Anywhere 'Tropical-looking'

Decent haircuts vs Mullets

Anyway, the 80's & 90's were when Tiki went wrong, and Jimmy Buffett is Tiki's red-headed step-child.
