Are kilts gothic (or anti-gothic)

[Panache]

I thought I had read on Matt Newsome's blog that solid black kilts had been adopted as a dress/symbol for the people of Cornwall.

"Rocker", "Punk", "Glam", and "Goth" movements/fashion all share one common aspect. It's about rebelling against societal fashion and musical norms.

I find it somewhat amusing that you can have corporations like "Hot Topic" that own mall stores across America (and don't forget the internet) selling "Rocker", "Punk", "Glam", and "Goth" outfits and accessories.

The Rebellion has become the fashion, and in a sense, part of the norm.

Cheers

If I remember correctly, some Cornish were using a solid back kilt, but now there a number of Cornish tartans:

Notice the St. Piran's Cross, a white cross on a black field, is prominent -- St. Piran is the patron saint of Cornwall and tin miners.
