So going along with those elastic parameters, walking into a bar advertised as being a "Tiki Bar" and finding clown masks and space rockets everywhere should be OK? We should not be disappointed that the original aesthetic that brings us here has been so diluted and bastardised as to now be virtually meaningless? A tiki bar without "tikis"??? Just looking at those member's work here who have created their own Tiki Bar, their selected decor is remarkably uniform. Hardly "fluid". "Surf Rock" is in fact its own genre (and welcome to it) but I'd argue the point until we ran out of rum that it's NOT "tiki".

But it's the new mandate isn't it! Emotion over Fact. We hear it a lot nowadays from The Millennials and their fragile successors. It goes along the lines of: "I am, (or this is), a certain thing, purely because I say it is or think it is. End of story. Never mind what science says. Anyone disagreeing, questioning or failing to completely conform to my statement is a Fascist/Nazi or something-phobic and I will demand your cancellation if not your death."
