It's a double edged sword- if it's not pop enough, the diversity dwindles, icons are forced to either close or go 'applebees'. If it goes too pop, it gets bastardized and trivialized by those meddling kids.

The nice thing about Tiki culture is that there is a grumpy old drunk and an infiltrating hipster somewhere in us all. It's the Voodoo of pop culture, mixing just as many subcultures as there are ingredients in that tasty grayish brown drink in front of you.

So the question eats itself...
