Kilts as Goth wear.

[jjoseph]

Goth and grunge will both wear kilts for various reasons.... never have known "cross-dressing" to be among them. In the grunge crowd, the kilt is in fact seen as VERY masculine. As far as the goth shop carrying only "skirts", I asked a mate of mine who manages a shop. He says it's about the market. The kids who are the target 1) do not know kilts AND 2) have limited budgets. For the company to make money, it only sells the cheapest knock offs it can find.

The word Goth covers Heavymetalheads, Edwardians, the S&M+B&D types and mixed in with them are some crossdresser looking Androgynous types.

Goth covers a lot sort of a "All Others" group.

Altho I ride motorcycles and wear a lot of black leather I am not a "Biker."

It I had to place myself somewhere if would be in the "All Others" group.

True that. Goth covers beaucoup territory. What I said was I have never known them to wear KILTS as part of cross-dressing. Although most goths go for an overt sexuality in their look, be it hyper-masculine or -feminine or androgynous... I don't know too many who do what I'd call cross-dressing and have yet to see a kilt in that context. I'm the oldest of ten kids. Grew up during goth and grunge. If I haven't done it / worn it, one of the others in the brood has. It may well be out there, but I haven't seen it yet.
