Philosophically speaking, I think Tiki means different things to different people depending on several different variables, but especially where people are from. For people who grew up in Hawaii or other places close to lots of Tiki events and artifacts, there is less of a shock factor when they come across Tiki stuff than someone like me, who lives in an area where we have a stroke if we stumble upon anything even remotely tiki-like. Regardless of where you're from, though, I think that once a person becomes interested in Tikis and Tiki Culture, there is no going back, most notably because there are so many variations of Tiki imagery, art, etc. that is being produced right now.
