Emo Culture And Vampires
It is believed that when institutions create such films they are produced for a reason. Vampires have become increasingly popular and this has generated a large target audience and profit. As the Vampire phase came in our lives, more and more Vampire related media texts were being produced due to the current trend. Cycles of popularity can be seen “When any texts become exceptionally popular you can be certain that ‘follow ups’ will not be far behind” Institutions understood the popularity of Vampires and decided to capitalise on the present fashion. Today we are aware of the different stereotypes created in society. “Emo culture” is relatively new and is based upon a rebellious, anti-social, cult-like nature. “The popularity of the vampire today [...] being a "vampire" (or a Goth, for that matter) is for today's youth what being a "hippie" was for the youth of the 60s” . Emos and Goths tend to follow dark films and aspire to horror movies involving Vampires, ghosts and death etc. Their culture has followed around the Vampire phase and has made it become even more popular.
