Yacht Rock just killed Tiki Music.

It's retro.
You can dress up in Aloha shirts to listen to it.
Dance to it? Yup.
Chicks dig it.
There are 'boat drinks' associated with it.
Yup, Pina Coladas.
Yup, rum.
Tommy Bahama shirts? Yup.
People actually like listening to it. You can party to it.
People don't 'get' Tiki music.
They 'get' Yacht Rock. Nobody knows why.
etc...

At Tiki Oasis I actually heard people saying that they thought Tiki Music WAS Yacht Rock. They thought Exotica was just filler until the DJs got back to playing the Yacht Rock songs everybody loves. Some girls were actually yelling "YACHT ROCK" at the pool, like they thought that's what the whole party was about.

It's all over, brah.
