I feel bad for my friend's brother. He's in middle school, not too interested in Twilight but he tagged along with some friends to see the movie. Then he got slapped in the face for watching the movie without reading the books first. Poor kid has the dumbest friends.

What the hell, that's terrible.

I read all the books and enjoyed them, but they are in no means great. They're cheesy romance novels target to teen girls. That's why I liked them. I can't see how so many people think they're these masterpieces. But whatever, different strokes for different folks. Personally I like Micheal Romkey's books about vampires.

The thing is, by itself... it isn't a terrible series. It's the hype and fandom that makes it terrible. The fact that it's put on a pedestal so high that it's considered a social faux-pas to have not read it and how people typically mindlessly become obsessed with it enough to push it unto others... is what makes it ridiculously irritating.

Stephanie Meyer isn't some sort of horrible person to have wrote this, claiming it to be the masterpiece of the century. She knows, for the most part, what it was intentionally written for... young teen-aged girls. It's not my cup of tea, but the demographic it was targeted enjoyed it. I just hate how people react to it, and how obnoxious the entire fandom is as a whole.

But aren't all fanboys and girls annoying? Lol. Except Star Wars fans, we'll kill ourselves off soon enough because we can't breed.

Is this topic only limited to "Twilight", or can we throw some other truths out on the field?

I dunno. I was pretty sure the Twilight fandom's demographic is pretty much the average teenager, rather than exclusively goths and emo kids. From what I remember from high school, a lot of goths are slightly elitist in what they like and participate in, and tend to push away general conformity for the sake of nonconforming, and anyone else would just be a poseur.

Exactly, the fans at my school range from a variety of teens.

I actually got kicked in the balls by one of them.

Well, time to prepare!

I can't say the average teenager. The average teenager rarely reads if at all. There to busy trying to up there popularity, partying, and sometimes doing illegal things. Kinds try to rebel so hard.
