TIKI is old-school 30's-60's South Pacific style. The days of "ma'am and yes sir" Relaxing, soothing sounds and polite "respectable" hedonism.

BUFFET is late 70's to 80's Miami/Carribean style. Pink T-shirts under white Don Johnson jackets with the sleeves scrunched up. Bad cotton "Hawaiian shirts" with colorful parrots on em, and too much chesthair poking out. Rowdy "party" tunes with lyrics that try too hard to be "funny".. puking off the side of your boat in the keys (or more likely the grimy bathroom floor of a cheezy 80's hotel 'tiki bar' with white molded plastic lawn chairs) and then proudly recanting the tale around the water cooler on monday morning as if it's some type of "accomplishment" or "experience"
