Not a purely American thing. In Ireland during the period of British rule, some nationalists from the late 19th or early 20th century were adopting kilts (typically in one color, like saffron) as "national costume." It is originally a Scottish, and not authentic Irish item of clothing, but it started in Ireland during the period, as far as I can determine, when they were trying to get home rule. Today it's typically Irish Americans and not Irish from Ireland who wear "Irish kilts", but even in Ireland (both the ROI and Ulster) you have kilted pipe bands today (I could be wrong but they seem to be more popular in Ulster, though there are, for example, pipe bands in the military of the ROI. As for playing bagpipes as something Irish, this is actually not incorrect. Just like in Scotland, there was a time (roughly from the late 15th or 16th century to perhaps the time of the Boyne) when the Irish used the bagpipe as an instrument of war in the same way as the Scots. Now admittedly, the modern getup that you see in the New York City Police and Fire Departments' Emerald Societies' pipe bands is an hibernianized version of the Scottish model, but there is some historical basis for it. Again, this modern-day, adapted-from-Scottish, Irish "warpiping" traditon is not just in the Irish American community, but also in modern Ireland/among the Irish disapora within the United Kingdom. Think of it as a modern tradition.

@@erracht Remember Kilts were originally one colour and were not just worn around the waist, they were like a blanket where you wrapped half around yoour waist and the remainder over the shoulder. It served as a blanket at night. Tartan is very new. I would also say, no such thing as modern traditions, just habits, some of them dirty.

@@jimwalsh8520 Now you're talking about the Scottish tradition. Traditions evolve. They are not all set in stone. A lot of what we consider traditional today was codified in the 19th or even the 20th century.

Dear Mr walsh, what a fantasist you really are, there was no such thing as an english man at that time, you german saxons were then residing in Saxony in Germany before the Germans kicked you out for disobeying German law, what a crackhead you really are Mr walsh, please go back to feeding your little chickens and having a little flagon of CIDER before you venture into the real world.

​@@errachtThe modern kilt is for the most part a purely 19th century creation of English and Lowland Scots who became obsessed with the Scottish Gaelic Highland culture. The kilt does have roots in real clothing worn by Scots and Irish because remember most of Scotland's culture and traditions as we would think of them today are from the Highlands and islands, a culture and peoples fundamentally linked to the Irish. On the matter of bagpipes(not just the archetypical Scottish bag pipes) the various local varieties of these instruments across Ireland, Scotland and Northern England is interesting to say the least and Yes before you ask the Irish Uilleann pipes have a historical basis in the form of the Irish great pipes or War pipes.

And your point? That stuff isn't genuinely endemic in scotland either.

Bagpipes and kilts evolved from the Irish war pipes and the Irish léine, the only reason we don't have our own is because our native instruments and clothing were banned under English common law. Patrick Pearse himself advocated for Irishmen to wear the kilt as it was the closest thing in existence to our native Gaelic clothing. So yeah I'd consider kilts and bagpipes much more Irish than guitars and a pair of jeans.

@@adammacgreagoir4924 utter garbage.

Not completely. See my response to Jim Walsh above.

@@adammacgreagoir4924 kilts/bagpipes/ceilidths/ceilidth music/ stepdance/fiddle reel music(there are 100s of scottish fiddle tunes in ireland). the prefixes macs and o's all adopted in the late 1800s by irish nationalists to distance themselves from their anglo-norman roots. your "irish" music only started in the late 50s by the clancies who were actually actors turned singers. they adopted the scottish toora loo/diddly dee style and due to their limited repertoire adopted many scots and english sangs. then the dbliners formed in 62 and did exactly the same. then the furies in the 70s did the same. a know....a was around then.....american country music also influenced "irish" music.
