Anything vaguely Vampire related is "in" with Goths right now.  One of the 
most comical conversations I have ever had was with a group of Goths, sitting 
at a coffee house, reading really bad poetry in their best "Lestat" 
impersonation, playing Magic: The Gathering, and talking about the cruelty 
involved in eating meat....
"Vegetarian Vampires"....go figure.

(who still happens to dress in black and listen to Joy Division and The 
Sisters of Mercy, but would never even think of considering himself Goth...)
