There are plenty of vampire themes in the media. Biting is taking over this generations hickey. Biting is seen as a form of affection that symbolize ownership. If someone has a a bite or hickey, the person is usually connected with a partner. This fad came about because of hit movies that portrayed vampires as the theme, such as Twilight. These people became fans of the movie and of the theme because they want to imitate what they saw on in these movies.
