In the old days of the Tiki revival (yes, I said it, but I saw it) there definitely was more of a solid undercurrent of urban archeology, preservation, and genuine interest in where all this came from and how to keep it pure and real as a genre.

uh, which tiki revival? really bk, there were more, before.

There's a big mana difference when looking at a drunken dolt at a frat party with a crap drink in some big, goofy mask with a Fez and a cigar dancing around in flip flops

(what is 'flip flops'?)

why you using the word "mana" as if it applies here?
be careful. show respect; that is an ancient Hawaiian word that should never be employed in modern drunken frat boy fad culture conversation.
nor does it apply. nor is it appropriate.

talk about 'old days'...
does anyone know what
'old days tiki' is?

I thing as long as you keep it core ...
eventually the sh*tty formula will get phased out and the classic will...

my point; someone's 'core' is someone else's 'sh#itty formula".
'the real thing' is fully, completely unknown nowadays.

as the old bard reminds us in Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy"
