"I guess that means there is no desire to categorize Tiki bars in genres, then. But remember: Those who are ignorant of history are condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past in the future! ...or something like that."-bigbrotiki-

I like to think I'm making tomorrow's mistakes today.

But seriously folks...

I'd guess the majority of the Tiki Central regulars have a genuine interest in Tiki bar categorization such as the Evolution of Polynesian Pop image bigbrotiki posted above (Where'd yuh find that, bigbrotiki, some old book or somethin?) or arriano's suggested categories.

But I think for many it's less an intellectual interest and more of an internal awareness. Whether consciously or not we know there are various categories as there are places we'd possibly never set foot in (A hot pink and electric yellow joint called Cabana Jack's Parrot Shack or The White Sands Room in Lee's Chinese Special Family Buffet) if there wasn't a chance that they might fall into one of these un-named categories.
