Critiki is dead - General Tiki

Is it the use of the imagery of Tikis themselves? Because if that's what it is and we remove them, then what's left? We go back to pre-Tiki bars which are really just tropical or nautical bars or a combination of both, which is all well and good and i have no problem with, BUT, then this site becomes .....(nothing) Central. Every Facebook group removes the key word which describes what the group (should) be about and you're left with....Mugs For Sale. This is .....Authentic Mid-Century...Style collectors. ....Collectors. (Even though nowadays that is exactly what the scene has turned into-things that have got nothing to do with Tiki at all). WTF does that mean?
