From another point of view.

In the last three years we have seen:

Jeff Berry's work taken seriously by the craft cocktail scene. For the first time in many years, new tiki bars are opening and one can expect to be able to be served a proper mai tai, zombie et al. How long have we been waiting for that? Not to mention a plethora of new (and really good) tiki cocktail recipes.

Bands with real chops playing classic and new Exotica. How long have we been waiting for that? I am thrilled that new music is being composed worthy of continuing the tradition.

There are some very good things about these times. I am grateful for a lot of what's going on.
