Subject: Baby Bat
Category: Terminology/Sayings


Baby bat, a term which probably was originally meant to be deragatory, has now come to mean either a young goth or a new-comer to the scene. In its first meaning it would almost seem synonymous with Spooky Kids, but Baby Bats don't have the "poseur aura" about them. Instead, they usually tend to go on to be accepted as a Goth. In the second meaning it is just someone who has recently become a Goth, and therefore doesn't know as much about the culture. These are the kind of people that whould accidentally ask the DJ at the local Goth club to something by Switchblade Symphony, not realizing the last song was by Switchblade Symphony.
