As much as I don't WANT to agree with that statement.... I do. When things go mainstream they have a tendency to get twisted, turned, and perverted into unexpected ways. Then, if it ever WERE to become fashionable (in the mainstream), it would also then fade from fashion, and anyone kilted would then be seen as unfashionable and not keeping up with the trends (despite the fact that we would have been wearing kilts long before it was popular)...

As much as I love my Utilikilt, I hesitate a little to wear it these days, as it has "mainstreamed" itself into one of several odd subcultures, neither of which I really associate myself with.
