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.

NO!! We never existed!! We were just a figment of everyone's imagination!! Forget you ever heard the word "Disco."
It was just a collective nightmare... an urban myth that everyone bought into... they only existed in the movies... yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!

Not that I would ever know something like this,
But I bet
Iolaus still has some white square toed disco shoes with 2 inch heels in his closet!
Come on dude - fess up!
Me, I was into Hang Ten and OP - the first time around!
Seems like the Goth kids want to be different, but they end up looking like all the other goth kids....LOL

No shoes, but if I dug real deep, I might, might mind you, have a pair of Angelflights packed away in plastic somewhere... but I don't think so.

It sounds as though some of us have gone from leisure suit to leisure kilts. :smile:

I have an online aquaintance who is a Goth. She tells me real Goths don't necessarily wear the typical (stereotypical?) Goth outfits. The real Goths call the dress-in-black-bought-it-at-Hot Topic, "Gophs".
According to her, most real Goths shop at thrift-stores and second-hand shops where they can find unique items.

I had forgotten about that term.
In regard to people being rude, ehh, the 'non conformist' (goths, punks, hippies, etc) probably, per capita, have less people who are rude then the conformist types. But, people are people, there a holes everywhere ;)
