Brown bat

Term in the goth community (as well as its subcultures) for someone (typically a woman) dressing in traditionally goth attire that is a brunette. It is sometimes used to describe someone presenting goth that keeps their natural hair color.
I had started to get into goth fashion and wanted to dye my hair, but I figured I’d keep it natural to go with the brown bat vibe.
