This is an interesting post.

I don't mind if tiki was / is underground or mainstream.

When someone complains about traffic, I always think it's amusing because you are part of what makes up the traffic - if you weren't there... there would be less traffic.

Eg if you or I weren't here the number of tiki fans would decrease, multiplied many times making it less popular.

A few other posters hit on the idea of 'tiki' being cool by association (eg if Britney Spears was photographed with a mug & shirt). A decade on this 'cool by association' has happened but without a defining photo - tiki bars are a popular thing in the UK.

I think where your interests lie on 'the scale', what facet you enjoy.

To summarise what I enjoy about tiki it would be 'drinks & carvings', if someone else says 'shots & dancing in the tiki bar' then that's just something else.
