Does anybody have any theories on this one? Because to me, punk was basically formed in England and spread throughout the UK, US etc. So, why would a Scottish pattern represent a fashion choice?
Idk, ive always been a curious person

   its because plaid was worn to symbolize obedience in some (catholic, religious)schools and some people(the punks, in this instance) thought it would be cool to take that and throw it in their faces
   but idk. thats always been the way i see it

   I know what you mean, alot of the more “Hardcore” people I’ve seen around like it for some reason. I guess just because it’s edgy and sometimes a bit wild-looking, and it comes in their (and my) personally favored colors, such as Black, Grey and White.
   Here’s another one, how come they like Safety Pins and Chains hanging from themselves? Slaves in the 11th and 12th century wore those when being Punished!
   Overall, fashion is fashion, and frankly it hasn’t quite changed over the years.

   Plaid fabric is usually very cheap. It also hides dirt extremely well. Considering that when living in random places and going with the flow, washing clothes can be a bit difficult, a cheap fabric that hides dirt and wrinkles is always a plus.

   Once there was a poor boy in england ..He couldn’t afford new clothes so he decided to use his late fathers wardrobe to create his own..His father was a lumberjack from scotland by the way.. anyhow he tore the sleeves off an old flannel jack and thus punk plaid was born!

   this is because prep schools wore plaid in their uniforms. This symbolized obedience, order, and tradition.
   Punks thought it would be rebellious to put plaid into their wardrobe to say ” FORGET ORDER AND OBEDIENCE AND TRADITION! WE’LL DO AS WE PLEASE NO MATTER WHAT WE ARE WEARING”.

   What? no its not. Plaid is mostly affiliated with preppy fashion. Preppy in the U.S. thinking way of prep and also preppy in the U.K. thinking way of prep.

   because its fcukin badass! 80% of my ‘wardrobe’ consists of plaid hahahahaha..
   those are more skate punks who wore the plaid and a little bit of the others..
   it probably just spread there too….
