Interview with a “Fangbanger”

BloodCopy.com conducted an interview with self-professed “fangbanger” Indigo over the weekend. Read what he has to say about the Great Revelation, vampires, and vampire/human relationships:

BloodCopy.com: First of all, I’ve got to ask you why you prefer the term “Fangbanger” instead of “Fangophile.”
Indigo: Ah, mainly because of your blog post that mentioned taking the term and making it our own. Do kids want to keep using the same mean name if the scapegoat accepts it willingly? Of course not.

Fair enough. So where were you when the Great Revelation happened?
A group of friends and I were at a private retreat in the woods and completely missed the news during the weekend. It wasn’t until I arrived to work Monday night that I found out what had happened. I work night shift for a support line.

And what did you think?
“It’s about time!” I had known in my heart for years that vampires were out there. I had been studying their ways since I was old enough to read. I couldn’t wait to take the next step and actually meet a vampire in person.

And have you met any vampires?
Oh yes. Many.

Have you ever been bitten?
Yes I have, but I won’t belittle the experience by talking about it. It’s far too sacred.

What’s the attraction?
When you look into a vampire’s eyes, you’re seeing the accumulated knowledge and wisdom and insight of decades or even centuries staring back at you. Those awkward teenage years that seem to hold so many of us back for years are nothing more than a faded memory for a vampire. Vampires have more poise and self-confidence than any of us could ever dream of having, simply because they’ve had eons to learn what they’re doing right. And when a vampire gazes at you, they can see forever into your soul - and vice versa. It’s not for the weak. It’s magic.

Okay, thanks, Indigo for the interview, and we wish you well in your pursuit of happiness among the vampires.

    quite well-spoken. A surprising contrast to what I expected to hear after seeing the picture.

    Still, it’s the usual vampire attraction. The knowledge, the power, and then being bitten and becoming a part of that knowledge and power… its an intoxicating idea for many.
