    One's view of how to interpret the video depends upon how you approach it. If you are looking at the kilt as part of a stage performance for an accompaniment to drumming, then the kilt is a costume, and can be worn in any way that supports the performance. If you make the kilt center-stage and the rest of the performance is the accompaniment, then I think reviewing the appearance of the kilt to be something worth discussing. And then I would ask the question....was the kilt worn backwards on purpose? We don't know. Maybe they did "google" it, but wanted to make a statement of some kind. Maybe they were just being kids and having a good time, and aiming for the adulation of the young ladies in the crowd (ah, to be young again).

    Sometimes theatrical performances are intended to challenge comfort levels, sometimes something that gets the audience (as is some members of a kilt forum) really upset is totally outside the intent of the performer.

    I applaud the young men for their drumming and their wearing of clothing outside of the norm (no pants for them!), mentally tell myself -- remember, "pleaty part" goes in the back, and then look for something new to stew about.
