Let's try and not get a biased opinion, people, PLEASE.
Here goes...
A book series written Stephanie Meyer about a girl, Isabelle Swan, known as Bella, who decides to live with her father in Forks, Washington. There, she meets and eventually falls in love with the elusive and attractive Edward Cullen. Problem? Edward is a vampire who can barely withstand the scent of Bella's blood. Despite this, they begin a turbulent relationship leading into a chase for Bella's life against rival vampire James.
This book has become increasingly popular, especially with teenage girls or fangirls, and has been compared to Harry Potter in popularity and fan base. This series has spawned 3 sequels, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn, respectively, as well as a movie, Twilight, along with its upcomign sequel, New Moon. Twilight t-shirts and other paraphernalia can be found almost everywhere, especially in Hot Topic, and is considered to be a better seller than many of the store's other products.
However, though there are many positive things to say about Twilight, there is also a downside. Many have criticized the style of writing in the series, more specifically, the details. Bella's VERY detailed descriptions of people (by People I mean Edward) can cause an annoyance to some readers (Ex: "Ok, you think he's hot. Move the fuck on!").
Secondly, the stereotypical (though not always accurate, bear with me here) Twilight fangirl is a girl ranging from 12-17 years of age who would be, when it comes to physical appearance, unnatractive. Because some of these girls know that they will not attract the attention of human male until later in life, Edward Cullen will have to do.
Fangirls will usually be seen with something pertaining to the series, whether it is one of the books itself, one of the Twilight tees from Hot Topic (see above), or other similar things of that nature. They will also post fanfics on FanFiction.net on how they would see this story or look up all things Twilight/Stephanie Meyer/Edward Cullen (or whomever the like best)on Google for hours.
Emotionally, Twilight fangirls can tend to have a holier (or in this case, Twilightier)-than-thou aura (think like certain scene girls). Fangirls will usually get into a long rant when one of the following occurs (but not limited to):
1. Someone has read only Twilight, and has no interest in reading the others for one reason or another (fanngirls might try to push you to read all of the others
2. Someone does not find Edward Cullen attractive (the girls who fit this category usually have a significant other, but the one way to piss a fangirl off is to say that you think Jacob Black (or even James) is hotter than Edward)
3. Someone who prefers seeing the movie, rather than read the book (fangirls will try to make you read the book first)
4. Someone who is simply uninterested in the series (fangirls WILL push you, if you're not interested, simply say so)
5. Someone who believes that Edward Cullen gives unrealistic expectations for men (that all men have to have sparkly skin, be poetic, heroic, etc.) and that the relationship between Edward and Bella is either unrealistic, soap-opera-esque, or simply cheesy. (We'll get to that later)
6. Someone thinks the movie was better than the book (Most fangirls believe that the movie was either as expected or god-awful)
However, there will be fangirls in relationships or pursuing someone. They will usually compare their relationship/crush to Edward and Bella's relationship, saying that they and their crush/boyfriend were "meant to be," despite that the crushes might want nothing to do with the fangirl.
But don't think that all of this only applies to girls. Boys, though very few, DO read Twilight for entertainment.
In conclusion, Twilight is a pop culture fixture that everyone will remember and either love, hate, love to hate, or hate to love.

Full of homo vampires that sparkle
99% of the twilight groupies do NOT know anything about
Vampyres, let alone the actual spelling of the word. Very few of them can identify the original Vampyre, Nosferatu.
This book series is the worst thing that has ever happened to the fantasy world and it should be shunned.
Twilight Groupies are some of the saddest excuses of human being in the world and should also be SHUNNED.
Additionally, Twilight contradicts hundreds of years of vampyre lore.

Girls Groupies: OMG, I AM INLOVE WITH A SPARKLING VAMPIRE
Fantasy Nerd 1: I can't believe this shit... Vampyres don't fucking sparkle.
Fantasy Nerd 2 yells at the girls: WHO IS THE ORGINAL VAMPYRE? AND SPELL VAMPYRE!!!
Girls: I don't know... Edward Cullen? V-A-M-P-I-R-E
Fantasy Nerd 1: It's Nosferatu
Fantasy Nerd 2: V-A-M-P-Y-R-E
Both: I HATE Twilight and its little groupies.

Crap in the shape of a book. Too easy to make fun of. Stupid. It also tricks the minds of little girls everywhere. (although I'm 13 and I hate Twilight)
Basically a rip off of Romeo and Juliet. Things that don't make sense:
What happens when Bella gets her period?
Nobody falls in love that fast. At Bella's age she doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
Meyer was too afraid to kill anyone. There are BATTLES yet everyone stays in complete health.
Edward and Bella's relationship is purely based on looks.
Fangs never come up in a VAMPIRE book.

Twilight infects the minds of teenaged girls. Here are some real quotes from a Twilight fanatic on YouTube:
edwar cullin iz lyke wae betta den this! edward cullin iz lyke reel nd stefanie mayers iz lyke wae betta wryter!
twilight iz lyke way betta doe! harrie potter is lyke only 2 books and twlight is 4 books ,,,,, stefanie mayers is wae betta den jk rowlin!
datz iz lyke wat i wood doe if edwar cullin ded 2 me becuz hes reel nd heel cum 2 me!
Sad, right? She can't even spell...

Bad literature that makes the top 10 list due to tweens and single moms who use it for masturbatory material. This is easy to do seeing as how the main character has about as much personality as a rock. The 2nd and 3rd books consist of bouncing back and forth from a dead guy and beastiality. To make it worse the bitch who wrote it cannot stand using just reading material, she went on to allow movies to be made and the entire planet has to deal with pictures of the two "men" everywhere and trailers on tv... not to mention mobs of ppl at walmart when ever the newest film comes out.... the world can thank Stephanie Meyer, a woman who has 0 talent and would and should be living on the streets, for this shitty story. And for the intense battles Between teams Jacob and Edward.
A man walks into walmart to get food.. little did he know the new twilight book came out... he ends up stuck in line for 4 hours and listening to how awesome Edward and Jacob are. He then goes home and uses his 12 gauge on himself and his family.

The worst movie I have ever had the misfortune of watching. It's about some retarded girl who moves to this made-up town where this creepy family of faggy vampires live. She and one of the douchbag vampires date or something and then there's this cocksucker wolf boy who is NOT hot at all (but every girl seems to love). It's based on a book that I would never ever read. If you like this movie, you are either:
A) on crack or
B) one of those brainwashed 14 year old girls who I hate
