My (our) generation grew up finding vintage items in the thrift store. Relics of the Atomic Age. We grew up visiting a few of those places and see them fading away. Tiki is a part of that. The younger people seem to think of the 70's as we think of the 50's and 60's. And the funny thing is, I can't understand liking the 70's! Tear it down! But it's also a maturity thing. 20-somethings drink shooters. Or, well, these days, I think 20-somethings aren't drinking at all any more... But, they want quantity and not quality in their drinking. Well, that's how I was. Same reason you don't meet many 23 year old Masons...
