The way i see it is, we are the only species to understand the concept of death(as far as we know),so therefore life is futile,because we understand that all living things will eventually die. Unless you are religious,(which i am not,i'm an agnostic), and believe that this life is just a means to an end, life is something to make the most of and enjoy whilst you can.If that means immersing yourself into tiki culture,or music, or art, or whatever it is that allows you to escape the monotony of the lives we lead,then do whatever it is that makes you happy.You can never have too much escapism. Just remember,"You are the only thing in any room you're ever in"(Elbow).
