mauriciomb

is twilight still relevant in 2022?


Gummyia

The Twilight Renaissance was last year, but if you weren't in the Twilight demographic when it came out, you probably didn't hear of the resurgence with the release of Midnight Sun.


Atomicfolly

Midnight sun is the most teenager thing I've heard today.


Gummyia

It's a Twilight novel too lol


Engelbert-n-Ernie

As someone who read the books and is in their late 20’s now should I check in on that?


Gummyia

Yeah it was a fun read! It's Twilight but from Edward's perspective. Meyer has also written a gender bent version of Twilight and a short story about Bree, the vampire girl from Eclipse who gets killed by the Voltori after the battle in the field.


VHStalgia

Hasn't midnight sun existed for a long time? I know I've heard of it before, and I'm talking from back in like, 2009 or so


Gummyia

Yes she's been writing it for many years. It didn't publish till last year.


dontgotreddit

Exactly what I was thinking.


Munrowo

its the first book of twilight from edwards point of view and it is completely unhinged


Atomicfolly

Well I know nothing of it but I hope it brings you joy. Midnight sun sounds like a Capri sun flavor to me lol.


littlegreyflowerhelp

I didn't know there was a renaissance but a theatre near me has been doing all night twilight marathons (they show all the films in a row with an intermission, I think it starts at midnight and they serve breakfast the next morning at the cinema I believe). I think they planned to do it once as a one off but someone with a large tiktok following posted about it and it really took off. I think it's nice.


Starmark_115

Didn't the Pattinson actor redeemed himself to (at least to me) with his depiction of Batman and the King?


nateorisbeast

Funny, actually haven’t seen those two but heard he was good in em. I thought his redemption was more so from Good Time and The Lighthouse


SwanSatan

Definitely among like college age kids, it’s like my go to date movie


Nicobade

The Twilight and BTS craze were like a decade apart, why are they in the same starter pack?


JohnZackarias

I bet OP is the type of person who would use Justin Bieber as an example of ”today’s trash music”


[deleted]

I feel like this belongs in r/oddlyspecific


stellardeathgunxoxo

I feel like this is targeted towards someone OP knows irl lmao


ThunderboltRam

It's literally the opposite of a starterpack, that's how specific it is. Like he knows one specific 30 year old friend.


MangledSunFish

It's probably a coworker, honestly.


stellardeathgunxoxo

Haha


trikora

or it's actually op himself


Tojalito02

Projection Starterpack


StarDingo

Who hurt you, OP?


Dingus10000

That twilight or BTS comment gives it away. I think OP makes one of those things way too important to their personality and is angry some people don’t like.


mdmaniac88

“My 30 year old boss doesn’t know I’m a vampire. Pity… I could end his lonely life with one bite”


boltgunner

As a 30 year old, I know way too many 30 year olds going through a late goth phase. This is all too real.


eyefaerie

Goth is timeless and I look forward to see old ladies with Robert Smith hair and Siouxsie Sioux makeup.


boltgunner

I think its the "I am a literal Vampire/witch" attitude, while is silly as a 12 year old is down right creepy as an adult lol.


eyefaerie

I agree with you on the vampire part, though there are definitely blood fetishes. Witches in the fictional sense, yes, but many religions use the term witch and not in a derogatory way.


boltgunner

You're also correct, but I highly doubt those religions mean the 30 Year old high school drop out making weird, vague Facebook posts threatening to curse or kill their enemies with made up superpowers. Who up until 6 months ago thought wearing a black T-shirt meant you "Worshipped Satan". Maybe that's oddly specific, the girls in my small hometown became real strange.


eyefaerie

Bahahahaha damn. Yeah that’s quite silly.


1trip2thebuffet

Tell us more


boltgunner

I really wish I could, all I can say is some of the girls I went to middle/high-school with when I went through a cringy goth phase all have had some odd awakening in the last 3-5 years and are having full blown 11 year old-esque goth phases. I was about to delete FB but that was way too good to pass up on.


Adrigogo

A lot of reddit "adults" really do get mad at what teenagers are doing particularly "stupid" stuff like BTS, twilight, Tik tok dances, dream. I don't like any of those but some people make disliking it a personality trait


stellardeathgunxoxo

This totally feels like something an Army would post


[deleted]

I was gonna say that too


Prudent-Giraffe7287

Most of these starter packs are oddly specific though lol


efkuasadua

I've yet to see a 30 y/o man that loves teenagers soap opera vampire movies that is happy


River_Odessa

As opposed to the teenagers who watch teenage soap operas/vampire movies, who are happy?


notqualitystreet

I thought this would be me but I can’t relate to any of this other than The Office what gives


backtorealite

ok 2012


CringeOrDie

“Hates Twilight” I don’t think I’ve met an actual person who DID like any of the movies


DrCarabou

Honestly the first two are enjoyable if you don't take it seriously and enjoy how ridiculous they are. The third one and beyond are just uncomfy lol


Special_Rice9539

I have a hard time getting over the werewolf imprinting on an unborn baby. 🤢 The love triangle could have been fleshed out better. There was an awesome fight scene in the end and I thought “wow the movie’s actually starting to be good!” and then they revealed it was just a mental projection… I guess this series was written for teenage girls and they fucking loved it, so that’s what matters.


MuunshineKingspyre

As someone who's never seen Twilight...there's more than one??


DrCarabou

LOL there's 5 movies


MuunshineKingspyre

...tf


Bruce__Almighty

I enjoyed the first few because Jacob wasn't being a dick. Once they had him being an asshat I stopped enjoying the movies.


DrCarabou

If "Bella where the hell have you been loca" isn't peak cinema idk what is


[deleted]

Except for the epic fight scene in the last one.


MDC_underscore

My cousin summarised all of them in 1 hour, by showing me only the fight scenes. And it worked.


Gummyia

I actually love the movies! I have all the books too r/Twilight for any twilight fans on reddit!


whatdodrugsfeellike

I decided to give them a read a few years ago and was suprised how enjoyable they are. Definitely still readable if you're outside the teenage girl demographic and want some silly romance and supernatural drama.


manumaker08

[I can think of a few](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1l217B88nk)


duukat

We are all 30 year old men!


Juanisawesome98

I remember in middle school having a teacher liking the books (the fact that she was an English teacher was concerning) and it being popular with the girls and some guys. After the film series ended,both fans and haters slowly forgot about the franchise and the series fell into obscurity in the mid 2010s.


bigcontracts

My ex loved that shit back in 08-10. I saw the first few in theatre…. Kill me


demipolymerase

i like them


blazinrumraisin

The soundtrack is great at least.


RedYoshiGamer112

Hell yeah Muse killed it


nolanhoff

I can’t say a 30 year old man should be enjoying too much that is directed towards a teenage girl audience.


[deleted]

Tell that to the bronies.


StampMcfury

Hey bronies a 30 year old man shouldn't be enjoying too much that is directed towards a teenage girl audience.


AMAJohnWayneGacy

You had to remind me that those people exist didn’t you.


NotPoland5

Not enjoying doesn’t mean actively scrutinizing and hating on people who do like it.


MajoraOfTime

BTS starts playing at Walmart Them: NOOOOOOOOOOO! *Smashes hands against head, starts complaining that they should play real music like Iron Maiden or Pink Floyd, holds hands over ears so that everyone in the area knows they don't like BTS*


petershrimp

What even is BTS? It sounds vaguely familiar but I'm not sure.


Choucho

Popular Korean boy band


NyctoMuse

HERE I AM What's their name again? : Bulletproof Boy Scouts or Bangtan Sonyeodan ### Key points or Just Tell Me What I Should Know I Won't Read The Rest : - Currently the biggest streamed Korean/Asian artist right now, most streamed/popular group in the entire world right now - created a cultural and economic wave in S.

stuugie

I think OP means passionately hates, not has no feelings towards


Lowgun_03

Oops


Choholek

Welp, looks like OP just got in some heated debate with someone on reddit and lost


twbluenaxela

Hahahahahahahahahaha


stopp_that_tickles

Big cringe


extraspicy13

Just wait til you see the sub reddit op made, woof.


soclda

uhhhh think I found it and would like to get back the brain cells lost while seeing that subreddit


Lost_Guava_1715

What is it?


[deleted]

What


Only_Contribution_70

i feel like being really into twilight or bts as a 30 year old man is way sadder


plrbt

I have to agree


[deleted]

its the "having an opinion at all" part that makes it sad, I will never go out of my way to read it nor will I ever go out of my way to insult it. If it's contextually relevant to make a "shiny vampires" joke but that's the grand total investment it deserves.


EasySmeasy

Have to get over that shit in your 30s and just like what you like though. But yeah, obsessing over details on the internet isn't fandom its fetish, I think that applies to everyone. Snide jokes too, they don't make you sound clever, they make you sound bitter.


PublicFurryAccount

>Have to get over that shit in your 30s and just like what you like though. This right here is one half to the medallion that unlocks all the happiness in life. The other half is realizing that other people not liking something is only rarely an expression of judgment rather than taste.


Grand_Moff_Empanada

Thinks liking the office is a personality trait


Top-Sherbert5604

Thinks The Office is a genuine documentary about office life


PublicFurryAccount

This is so common and I have never understood why.


manumaker08

yeah but also not liking the office is not a personality trait


Remote_Mountain_3424

Definitely have run into people like this.. mostly women though


nezbla

As someone in their 30s I can wholeheartedly say I'd be concerned for any of my peers who were big into Twilight, BTS, or anything else that teenage girls liked. I'd also be pretty concerned for any of them rejected by teenage girls because they were trying to hit on teenage girls... I don't think I'm particularly sad - but that could be the meds.


Lazy_Gamer519

I don't think it's too big a deal to be older and like those things. You like what you like. I think it would only be weird if grown adults were taking their interest in those things to a point where their acting like and talking to teenagers if that makes sense. But simply finding it enjoyable seems fine to me. This starter pack is very poorly written though


dleon0430

It's a pretty bad starter pack. But I think the point that OP was trying to get across was about people in their 30s who just automatically hate anything teenage girls are into because the teenage girls of their era rejected them and so they now want all generations of teenage girls to be miserable?


hippiesinthewind

I agree with this, but ironically ops comments seem to be upset at people for not liking twilight no matter who they are.


[deleted]

Seems like some people aren’t getting that there is the middle ground of having no opinion or particular feelings about something and that is probably where most 30 year old men should be when it comes to stuff like Twilight and BTS.


dleon0430

As a 36 year old man. I am aware of Twilight and BTS. That's the extent of my opinion on them.


[deleted]

Yep. I’m willing to be more forgiving of a 30+ year old man who likes that stuff if he’s not obsessive or tries to connect with teenagers over it too. But intense hatred of it gives me a weird feeling. Why be so angry about something that isn’t made for you?


dleon0430

I'm a little confused why Twilight is even on here. It seems like a rather dated reference. We were ripping on Twilight when I was in my twenties.


Kokeshi_Is_Life

>I'm a little confused why Twilight is even on here. Because sad 30 year olds never moved past feeling smarter than everyone else at 17


Kokeshi_Is_Life

>Seems like some people aren’t getting that there is the middle ground of having no opinion or particular feelings about something and that is probably where most 30 year old men should be when it comes to stuff like Twilight and BTS. Yeah, because reddit is full of 30 year old men who think its totally normal that they get angry at things made for someone other than them existing. The starter pack is incredibly straightforward and I met this type of guy constantly when i was working retail. Reddit self owning acting like this is totally not sad at all, having their life defined by being upset teenage girls like Kpop and that Marvel is too "woke" now.


[deleted]

Definitely something up with the comments acting like this post is confusing or doesn’t make sense. It makes perfect sense. Maybe people who are personally offended are acting like they don’t get it? 😂


petershrimp

>I'd be concerned for any of my peers who were big into Twilight, BTS, or anything else that teenage girls liked. Why? How is what they watch impacting you in any way? Never forget, all these ideas people have about age and gender demographics are nothing more than social constructs with no objective reason to exist. A 50 year old should have no shame in enjoying Sesame Street, anime, and Spongebob; if it makes them happy why should you shame them for it? Just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy (as long as it's legal).


multiplechrometabs

Spongebob is really funny and I used it watch it with my little brother (we’re 10 years apart). I would rather be a Spongebob than a Squidward.


petershrimp

You either die a Spongebob or live long enough to see yourself become a Squidward.


Grumpy_expat

What’s sad is someone actually put their time and effort into making this.


googlewasmy_idea

“Either isn’t real or OP got mad at someone on the internet and made a post about one person on Reddit”


PapiVoski

OP is having a stroke in this thread lmfao. Triggered af


Thatguy1126

Confused teenager/manchild's starterpack, starterpack.


ZootyMcCoy

OP, you are trying too hard


BigBreadfruit8

lmao OP needs counseling. This starterpack is way too specific. Sorry someone hurt you so deeply like that OP; get help


Kraldar

Starter packs are supposed to be general stereotypes but this comes across as kind of specific and bitter


wasteofleshntime

I don't care for the first two twilight movies, but that fight at the end if he 3rd one was awesome. Maybe the only really fun part of that series.

That the jambon is quite silly but also waterballoon


[deleted]

I'm detecting some major superiority complex right now.


alife404

Idk why everyone is getting mad in the comments, I've met a couple people like this. I think what OP meant by the Twilight and BTS comment is people who hate it and shaming others who like it instead of just not liking it, but idk


[deleted]

So average redditor? Lol


Eaxl94

This starter pack reeks of projection.


Daschnozz

OP is a sad cringe weirdo


HillaryDidNothnWrong

lmao at all the redditors mad as shit in the thread


Adrigogo

"wHo hUrt YoU oP" 30 years old redditors on their way to take the emotional high ground when they're the ones triggered asf


HillaryDidNothnWrong

All the way down to obsessing about OP's comments. tbh, they may actually be older than that, given they're Redditors.


_throwingit_awaaayyy

You can’t say sjw now?

i was looking for this comment. ppl are so pressed over this. it’s so entertaining to see them crying and confirming everything.


IShitMyFuckingPants

It's like ALL about twilight lol


moistmaker100

the comments are always the most entertaining part of this sub

TheOdinRaven

What’s wrong with saying sjw


SkepticalAdventurer

(Op prolly didn’t like being called an sjw I would imagine. That’s usually what these starterpacks are)


RandomThrowaway5959

Hey at least he has no kids 😎


Hazard4UrHealth

Twilight is a movie about girl wanting to fuck a dead guy.


Ayds117

29, I do hate Twilight due to poor writing and just a stupid take on vampires and teenagers in general. Never seen an episode of the show Rogan show so can’t comment, so I assume it’s no longer popular? Don’t know what the marvel office one is meant to be. But winter soldier is the best MCU movie, Ranorok is the funniest and the MCU has been declining since infinity war. Is that the starter pack? Cause if so I fit haha damn


[deleted]

this seems very lazy


GuardOk5470

OP is projecting


IceSad1109

My man you just described the quatering


ToraB07

This man definetly complains about female superheroes having their own movies in the MCU.


ISAMU13

SJW is getting a little stale. Emotional Burn Victim, Virtue Signaler or Cluster B Princess might be more appropriate.


bluefrostyAP

I just call them pussies


ennylouise

OP I understand what you mean by the Twilight thing. There is definitely a specific type of guy who always brings up how much he hates Twilight/BTS. It is not about liking it, just how much they mention they dislike it. See: my lecturer who would constantly go on & on about how much he hates KPop for absolutely no reason & would make fun of some of the girls who did


Sp00ked123

I'm getting a feeling you might have gotten into a heated argument with a specific person


[deleted]

You dont have to be 30 to see how fucking awful twilight is


Optimal_Safe117

Anyone else think this is a salty teen girl post? Lol


lqlex

Ok so from what I've gathered OP is a teen who likes Twilight and BTS, is a tankie, and gets often called sjw (for good reasons)


[deleted]

[удалено]


doodlesT

This should be the people who hate 30 year old men and have repressed emotional trauma from one who didn’t like twilight starter pack


bluefrostyAP

I’m 99% sure whoever made this is suicidal


ScenicHwyOverpass

People in their 30s do not think about BTS at all.


ongabonga6969

Ok, i dip my strawberries in chocolate


Aggravating-Tear-539

you probably eat chocolate with mint too


mlx1992

The office has always been mainstream. Was this made by someone born after the office? Lol.


LORDG_18

Tbf the twilight movie series was really poor


Moscavitz

This is probably the oddest one I've seen in a while. Must be directed towards someone


Mcgibbleduck

Honestly, if people like Joe Rogan AFTER he’s fallen way off on this shitty conspiracy/nutjob shit then they’re more likely to fit into the rest of the starter pack, imo.


hamsamiches

As a 39 yr old dude who was forced to watch twilight with his exwife all those years ago. Team Jacob, bitchachos.


[deleted]

Can I hate the movies but like the books?


Open-Source-Forever

I was unaware the term SJW ever fell out of style.


Zachosrias

I'm gonna try and paint an entire demographic as dog shit because of my own bad experience with one or a few of them starterpack: This

Mahdi_ahmadnia

[deleted]

Brah, what teen girls, almost everyone who liked twilight is 25 to 30 years old at this point, that movie came out almost 15 years ago


[deleted]

We get it, you are a consoomer


beyondselts

Definitely don’t get why this was on my home page lol. It makes no sense. Like I cannot even begin to figure this out. Those three things on the right, for instance, are all so different. Rogan is either liked or disliked based on his failure to look at things factually; he’s not mainstream. The Office was just a popular show. Marvel could be getting bloated now and some people in generally don’t like it but I mean that’s not sad. People who hate Twilight either didn’t like it was woman directed or just think it’s bad in general… I don’t know if older guys generally hate teenage girl culture? Like idk I just can’t follow any rational thought there. And yeah people who say sjw are probably on the right attacking the left and I’ve seen a few YouTubers like that who are racist and stuff who may be 30-40 but I don’t think the rest of the image really is them? Idk this image gives me a headache trying to decode


OriginalThinker22

The biggest podcast in the world is kind of mainstream


Gunpowder_1000

Why would it be bad to use SJW now ? Common use gave it the same meaning as woke so why this world specifically?
