Part of me wants it more generally accepted so it's not seen as 'eccentric' or 'weird' to be seen in a kilt.
The other part of me genuinely fears what mainstream society would do to the kilt. I mean, look at what they've done with pants. Half of them wear their pants so low you can see their underwear (or worse). Others wear ridiculously baggy pants or silly-looking bell-bottoms, etc. If the kilt became mainstream, I'm sure we'd see bastardizations of the kilt unlike anything we've seen to date. To the point where the traditional Scottish kilt would lose any sense of meaning. That really doesn't appeal to me.
What I'd like to see is a good solid growth of popularity of the traditional kilt and some modern variations of it, but all in good keeping with what the kilt is and what it means. I'd like for people to see the kilt and recognize it for what it is, but I doubt I would personally like the idea of everyone wearing it.
