A few quotes:
"(Primitive art) was now associated with an artistic, bohemian lifestyle and a whimsical, playful attitude." BOT, p28

"The fair climate (of the South Pacific), natural beauty, passionate natives, and abundant resources of exotic foods seemed to promise an existence free of the restraints and stresses created by the cultured communities of the Western world." BOT p34

"...the nude native girl, the wahine, (the) Eve in the Polynesian Garden of Eden. She became the first and foremost icon of Polynesian Pop, embodying the promise of unconditional love." BOT p37

And so on...

Nope, nothing "hippie" sounding about any of that.

Purplejade....there is a huge difference between Tiki people and Hippies! Tiki people like great music..hippies like the Dead and Phish, and sit around drum circles with the self-satisfied little smirks on thier bearded little faces! People into Tiki are not usually wearing birkenstocks, or bob marley caps! Down with Hippies! Down with the Dead! Long live Martin Denny!!
