Description
Of course, the majority of Goths are unique in their style and music preferences. However, within the subculture there are certain "types" of Goth with particular characteristics. And it can be fun to classify them. Naturally, classifications for each "type" vary from person to person, so you may disagree with what I say here!I've had so many requests for this one that I moved it ahead of schedule.
I could simply sticking up for the Baby Bats because I was certainly one of them in the past (and I lot of people would say I still am one). However, I could write an entire essay on why I think it's such a shame that some members of the Goth community, renowned for its open-minded, liberal and tolerant attitudes, can be given to such elitism when it comes to the Baby Bats. Surely this kind of snobbery and exclusion in "normal" society is one of the primary reasons why many Goths choose to reject mainstream values?
Rant over. Anyway, I like to think that this pair are Romantic Goth Boy [link] and Rivet Head Girl [link] when they were kids.
As with all my work, please DON'T steal this! If you want to use it for whatever purposes, email me and ask me first.

I don't think being under-aged will make you different from other goths. I'm 14 and I'm a geek, perky, and metallhead goths, and I believe there're many other of us that's under-aged, but mature enough for a goth. Besides, what's wrong with baby bats?

I personaly think it's awesome they atleast take an interest in the style. Although I do know this 12 year old who wears some pretty awesome Romantic gothic clothes. I love the way you drew them looking down,and the detail you added to their clothes. Awesome job!

It's funny, people think I think I'm goth. Therefore they think that I think the bands you've mentioned are goth. Unlike "Baby Bats" I don't think metal is goth. Metal is metal, and awesome in it's own right. I'm 15, and I have no idea what the hell I am, I'm not goth, I'm listen to too large of a variety of music to be considered a metal head either, I have to refrain from injuring people who call me emo or scene.
I dunno, I'm more of a psycho, freaky, hick, and my hick-ism is genetic. haha
Sorry, rant over. lol

I am extremely young, and count myslef as goth. Though in some peoples eyes I might be a Baby Bat. I dont like HIM OR Marylin Manson. At ALL. Dx And dont really listen to Heavy Metal either...My favorite band happens to My Chemical Romance **this isnt helping, haha**...and Nox Arcana is very nice background music.
For Outfits: I abuse fishnets...and black...and eyeliner and eyeshadow. Hehe.
And even if I count as a Baby Bat, I think I have quite a lot of potential. x3
And that is the end of my odd odd post. x)

I know waay too many baby bats, and honestly, this is what alot of the kids around my town think goth really is, and they are dumb.
I'm too young considering the rest of the goth community too, but I can tell the defference between a baby bat and a "true goth" at least. hahah I like these alot :3 I knew like half of the things when I saw them I love you for these
