🎸Punk Meets Polynesia🍍: How Tiki Took Over the Scene!

Подробнее о видео

What do Punk Rock and Tiki Bars have in common? A whole lot more than you’d think.

Tiki bars and punk rock might seem like total opposites... one’s all about laid-back island vibes and the other’s built on raw, aggressive rebellion. But dig deeper and you’ll find a surprising shared spirit: escapism, DIY culture, and a refusal to conform.

In this deep dive, we explore the weird, wonderful overlap between the world of tiki and the attitude of punk, from surf rock roots and kitschy aesthetics to underground bar scenes and sonic crossovers.

🎸 Can a leather jacket and a mai tai peacefully coexist?
🏝️ Why do so many punks love tiki — and vice versa?

This video breaks it all down with music history, design philosophy, and subculture insight — plus a few drinks along the way. Whether you’re into Dick Dale or Dead Kennedys, exotica vinyl or zine culture, the rejection of the mainstream, or just the joy of mixing rum with reverb, this is where anarchy meets aloha.

Grab a coconut, crank the Cramps, and let’s get weird.
