From a historic standpoint, Tiki was always by "The Man" and for "The Man".

Very true. And the style was, strictly speaking a cookie-cutter style that replicated one and the same success formula.
It's just that it was so much more imaginative and strange than whatever "the man" has brought forth since. And it inspired the "little man" to create his own version ad infinitum. And thus a pop culture was born.
