Twilight

Never saw of read the books. I'm not interested in something that is such a hype.

Not many people here seem to like Twilight. Could this be, and this is just speculation, because we are actually gothic and don't need to go for a goth-lite tale of high-school romance?

I would have to agree with you on that one.

Although, I don't understand why a few Twilight fans are turning goth or trying to pull of the style since Twilight is really not that goth. Anne Rice sure, but not Twilight.

For me, I would have to say that I truly hate the Twilight series. Its poorly written (Stephanie Meyer has a degree in English? Seriously?) and its just...sloppy (yes, I actually sat down an read all the books). However, I do not like high school drama stories anyway, so hating Twilight was something that was going to happen for me anyway, even with characters like Edward \"I-Want-To-Sparkle-You-So-Hard\" Cullen and Bella \"Put-Your-Emoness-Inside-Me\" Swan.

Like some people have said before, Twilight does its role as a teen drama (albeit a rather terrible one) and something that might be good for girls who are like 11-14 years old (of course, no matter what age the person is, I really wouldn't recommend these books to anybody).

i hope that the madness for twilight fades away fast ....before they actually make backpacks and posters and pencils and notebooks with images from the movie....

sadly that madness has already started here in the u.s. i've already seen the backpacks and notebooks and posters with images from the movie. to me it is one of the poorest vampire movies ever.

Disapproving as we might be to this twilight hysteria, and sadly as it might sound it sells way better than alchemy gothic. On the upper hand, that fact gives us the opportunity to enjoy a sort elitism.
What I don't know is why all this hype amongst the gothic subculture regarding twilight. Everyone knows it's pop, and has nothing to do with vampires as such.

I've just laughed myself silly there. Not sure if it's appropriate for the Alchemy forum... but nice one!
