I don't like the rejection of all things Caribbean as "not tiki." If that's the case,

For me Caribbean décor and even not truly exotica music are fine for yer tiki bars, it's the whole Homer Simpson dolls and Sorry Star wars, mixing sports with your tiki bar
that for me just does not work.

NOW you can do it, it's your house.
AND you can post it here, but other people also have the right to say wow that just does not work.

It's funny how some things get a pass and are seen as tiki Like hot rods, Burlesque, Burlesque? like where the heck did that come from?
Fezzes, And so many other things.

I think it comes down to who in the tiki world likes these other things as to whether or not we all suck up and agree to include these other questionable things as tiki.

Jimmy Buffet is as much tiki or not tiki as a fez or Burlesque, but Jimmy Buffet is mostly HATED here.

Just like flare bartending is duchy here but the words "craft cocktails" or even "mixologist" is not.
