Yes, somewhere along the way, the Tiki Revival seems to have lost touch with its lounge roots and shifted more towards beach culture (or was Tiki ever part of the mid-1990's "Cocktail Nation"?)

At this point you could almost write a book on the different phases of the Tiki Revival.

And if you think about it, the Revival has lasted almost as long as the original classic Tiki-style period. That's kind of weird. Almost like when "MASH" ran longer on TV than the entire Korean War lasted.
