They also don't understand that it's somewhat insulting to Tiki purists to see such a rich culture cheapened by an endless onslaught of ugly, cheap, brightly colored, party store garbage that too often tends to go right along with parrothead decor. If that's what you're into than cool, but understand that it is very distinctly different from that which we call Tiki.
