Different Generations

Something recently made me recall this conversation with a younger colleague from the early days of Twilight hysteria:

Colleague: I feel old. All the freshman women in my class are into this Twilight thing.

Me: Ah, yes.

Colleague: I asked them what it was and they told me this girl is in love with a vampire named Edward, but Edward is a good vampire that doesn't kill people, etc. But I was like "Isn't that just a copy of Angel from Buffy?" But that didn't seem to resonate with them.

Me: Actually, from what I hear, Twilight sounds basically like a copy of Forever Knight.

Colleague: What's that?
