Teen Gothic

Hi, (54f) I live in Birmingham, England. Anyhoo, I just went to the front door to pick up a Deliveroo shop, and a bunch (around six to eight of them, I think) of baby bats walked past. I said to the delivery guy, "Ooh, look, baby bats!" He kinda ducked and then looked thoroughly confused. I actually got a bit choked up. It was so lovely seeing our subculture thriving. Who've thought back in the early '80s we'd still be here, aye? Just wanted to share with folk who "get it".
