How I Still Imagine Hawaii

how I still imagine hawaii

What it means

A fast-moving 11.5-second montage of surreal, highly saturated Hawaiian imagery: tiki carvings, tropical forests, flames, surfboards, lush interiors, a tiki bar, and finally a palm-lined urban street. The joke is that the caption presents an exaggerated fantasy of Hawaii, built from retro Polynesian decor and dreamlike vacation imagery, before ending on a more ordinary modern city view. The clip is paired with music by Ti Maxim-Wordell, “Erudites In Mozambique (feat. Evil Kalen Almeida) [My Left Buttcheek Remix]”; its energetic, bizarre remix mood makes the nostalgic fantasy feel increasingly absurd and theatrical.
