Kitsch set wandering around rural location (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
the sticks
'rural location' is the definition.
Although both the answer and 'location' are nouns, they are not in the same form of the noun.
'kitsch set wandering' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'kitsch'+'set'='kitschset'
'kitschset' is an anagram of 'THE STICKS'.
'around' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for the sticks that I've seen before include "rural areas" , "They limit goals" , "country areas" , "Backwoods" , "backward area" .)
