Here is where I need to point out Tiki is not subjective, it is rooted in a historical period
with a set aesthetic, everything else we include in today's version (which Sven has coined Tiki Style)
is a conglomeration of disparate styles, which did not exist together previously to today's Tiki revival.

But if you're true to recreating the Tiki phenomenon of the 1950s & 60s, you have to adhere to the established
Pop Cultural aesthetic of Tiki as it was defined back then.
