It is a highly complicated, Yet completely opposite of a nuanced phenomenon
Unambiguous even, you might say (you would definitely say that!)
so I will try to explain:

Jimmy Buffett pretend Tiki:
Yacht rock loving, Cheap beer swilling, Ugly Hawaiian Shirt wearing (not "cool" ugly, just plain ugly!)
Patchouli smelling stoner hippy, Slushy dispensed Margarita guzzling, Party City Tiki mother fuckers!

This is BAD! M'kay

And then you have Real Tiki:

Vintage inspired, Mid Century influenced love of Polynesian Pop, Great Cocktails, Great Music
Tikis, real if they fall on you, you could die, Tikis! The good Hawaiian shirts (I mean The good ones!)
So basically your Mom & Dad's version of Tiki, Granny & Pop Pop's version if you be a youngin....

This is GOOD! M'kay

So there you have it.......
