Polynesian Pop is a cultural movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, blending elements of Polynesian culture with American popular culture. It is characterized by vibrant artwork, tiki bars, and themed parties that celebrate the aesthetics and mythology of the South Pacific. This trend gained popularity in the post-World War II era, fueled by a fascination with exotic locales and the rise of Hawaiian tourism. The movement also influenced music, fashion, and interior design, leading to the creation of iconic items like tiki mugs and Hawaiian shirts. Notable figures in this genre include Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic, who helped popularize tiki culture through their restaurants and cocktails.
