Tiki Snob here, sweeping in again, never tiring, for the 10th time, before anybody can muddle up this subject: This is PURELY from the perspective of the BOOK OF TIKI (some dusty old tome, outdated by the new FUN way of Tiki FUN...) As defined by the Polynesian Pop Evolution chart on page 46 of said book, POLYNESIAN POP is the overall term for a 20th Century pop culture aiming to depict the mythical SOUTH SEAS (not only-but mainly- Polynesian) PARADISE. Beachcomber style is a sub-genre of Polynesian Pop. Trader Style is a sub-genre of Polynesian Pop. Tiki Style is the most shining, elaborate sub-genre of Polynesian Pop. Tiki Modern (!!!? what the...!?) is Pop Primitivism mixed with modernism. Don't know about ISLANDER style, that sounds too much like pirates and Margharita-ville, and I don't go there... :)
