Every generation of kids wants to be different. In the 50s it was the greasers, in my own (the 60s) it was the hippies that stood out, missed most of the 70s (out of the country)but I do remember a lot of attention to the disco'ers, in the 80s it was the skaters, 90s it was the punkers, now the goths. Which were you a part of or wanted to be a part of?

A coffee shop that I stop at frequently has a goth group that comes in quite regular. Always polite, curious about the kilt at first, now they always stop by to chat for a few when I am there. A couple of them have benifited by being given SWKs web address and are now occasionally sporting black budget kilts.

Like the move of traditional celtic instruments into rock and popular music, if we want the younger folks to feel the attraction to kilts that we share, we best be prepared to see it go thru some changes.
