Because the average citizen likes their ...'everything' NEW and not 'outdated'. As one apartment manager told me: 'I got rid of the Tiki stuff because it dates the apartment building'. Many folks equate anything vintage with 'dirty'. Not desirable for restaurants OR apartment buildings. Tiki style is seen as dated because there is no context to Polynesia left in everyday culture in today's America. |
