    I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but I think goths wear kilts because they are not in the mainstream. My experience with goths is that they strive to be as "unconformist" (an impossibility, in my own opinion) as possible, and see kilts as a way tobe different.

    Another thing about Ren Faire's vs. Scottish Events: the kilts one typically finds (not in every case) tend to be bedsheets (MacTablecloth Tartan) incorrectly wrapped around the wearer. At Scottish events, you may not see as many kilts because 1) I believe Scots or Scottish Americans/Canadians prefer wearing a real kilt and 2) realy kilts are expensive.

    I hope that addressed the question properly.
