Tell me about it! And things were really looking good in the late 90s/early 2000s, when Aloha shirt and Surf gear designers brought back loud and abstract patterns....only to be tucking in their tails a few years later and going the conservative "muted/monochrome" palette of Tommy Bahama and other such "older guy" lines.

But back to one more "Element of Tiki", in reference to the boring "good" taste of the above mentioned store:

The willingness to embrace and defend "bad" taste.
