Twilight
This is a copy of a small rant that I gave on Gaia Online today:
I was saddened by something that someone said to me in a different forum earlier today. I said I liked vampire movies, but that I didn't like Twilight, and she responded with something like "Oh, I'm so glad you're not a fan of vampires because of Twilight". It made me realize -- Vampires have become popular in the mainstream because of Twilight. Every little girl now listens to Hannah Montana and wears a "Team Edward" t-shirt. I, personally, never even think of Twilight as a vampire story... so I guess vampires are different now, in this current generation?
