I got a bit nostalgic, remembering my baby bat years.
So I was wondering how it all started for other people.
What were your Baby Bat years like? When did you transition into a full-fledged bat?
And, lastly, did you listen to metal before turning goth and do you still listen to it?

I started off as a metalhead, than I fell in love with gothic.
I still remember my baby bat years as a great fun.
And yes, I still listen to metal, once you start - you never stop

As a teen I was wearing black and dying my hair black I added some silver jewelry and thought it was enough to be considered a Goth.
Only few years later I developed my Victorian style that I keep to this day <3

Baby BAt? despite the fact that life span can be over 40y, I tend to agree with subject

yours kindred spirit talk brought me here yet I cannot relate to it becouse Im more leaned toward Lycans, therefore the need for brute noise also [ synthetic/dronecore/psytrance/dubcorenerdstep/sytnh/krautrock...]

Without intention to troll, I can only participate with info about one persona from Sweden. Im not quite sure but I think her artistic name is bratbat or smtn.

later...

What does bratbat have to do with this topic?
I cannot separate Goth from metal.. Just think of Scandinavian metal bands.

I think it is Adora Batbrat you guys think off
I like her style

Adora Batbrat
She looks interesting, her style is meant to provoke.

Besides, she was a true hottie even as a baby bat

I have no idea who that chick is. Some YouTube celebrity or something?
Werewolves are different kind, they have wolf puppy years

I was a metalhead as a teen.
Oh, wait - I'm still a metalhead
Once you start, it is there forever

I started as Emily Strange.
Well I just wanted to be Emily and then I found out there is a whole big world out there for me to conquer
And I anyway consider myself more of a baby cat than baby bat
