Baby Bat

Baby Bats, also known as mallgoths, are a type of goth, although they are generally considered 'poser goths' by more traditional members of the subculture.
Whilst baby bats often consider themselves 'goth', they are actually often closer to metal, typical music including Korn, HIM, and Cradle of Filth, and Marilyn Manson.
Band shirts of the above mentioned bands, Heartagrams and Pentagrams, Chains, Converses or combat boots, Tripp Pants, and most hot topic clothing, are all typical of baby bats, along with dyed black hair.
As the older Goths are painfully aware, the media also considers these kids to be “Goth.” While this can be annoying for Goths who do not want to be associated with the baby bats (particularly the ones who are in it for shock value), one must remember that it was the media in the first place who popularised the term “Goth” to decribe the original music scene. So how we define what is and what is not Goth is very difficult these days.
Baby bats sometimes grow out of it, becoming nu-metal or regualar goth, or they stay mansonites. It doesn't really matter.
Make-up is one of the ways in which baby bats tend to go for a more 'shocking' apearance than most goths; they wear white foundation, with black lipstick and panda eyes.
