The later 1990s saw the start of a renewed larger scale interest in "tiki" from a variety of sources, the main being simply based on the curiosity of a new generation whose Woodstock parents had rejected tiki as old and "square", but for their children was something new to be appropriated and repurposed. This began with people like Bosko Hrnjak, who had been raised in California's San Gabriel valley among its tiki inspired architecture and who in the mid 1990s began to carve large palm logs into Tikis for his home bar. He became an influential artist known for his burnt wood carving style and making of homemade tiki mugs, an early catalyst for getting tiki's revival off the ground. Tiki King was another artist who was known for carving tiki necklaces and starting a mail order tiki business in the early 1990s.
