Please, both of you, ask yourself a question. You have been to tiki oasis, and other events.....the crowd is more and more rockabilly/surf/punk/goth/garage rock every day, and less the typical luau crowd.....don't you see it happening? Going to some of these events, more and more the crowd is very similar to the crowd at any car show in southern california. And as a result, more and more artists (and bands) are catering to that demographic......

Well here is a point that I can certainly agree on. The sad fact is that by 90% of the party and club crowd, Hapa Haole would be viewed as a "mood killer". And so would be Exotica.

To return to the original question of this thread: Tiki to me is about art appreciation and concepts of the exotic first, and about partying and drinking somewhere down the line. But that's just me, and while I have many sympathizers, we are not in the majority. I am fine with that.
