"Sparkly vampires"? Is Twilight really still that much of a figure on the YA scene? Or are there new sparkly vampires that I missed?

Yeah, it definitely wasn't a good reference point to use. It makes OP seem pretty out of touch with current YA fiction, if they think Twilight is more than peripherally relevant at this point. I'm 35 and Twilight is a lowkey guilty pleasure of mine, but even I know it hasn't been on the pop-cultural hot list for like a decade.

Yeah, I was gonna say yes, there's a lot of grimdark right now, but vampires sparkled up until 2010/2012.

We're back into the Anne Rice vamps and Disney vamps, and all other kinds of vamps. Preacher, Things We Do in the Shadows, Monster High, etc.

Came here to say this... that reference is a decade out of date, makes me think OP doesn't know what they're talking about

Not OP but if they're using sparkly vampires as a symbol of the YA urban fantasy horror-romance love interest figure, then Twilight definitely still has a presence in YA. The books themselves have lost popularity, but like them or not, their influence is still prevalent. Even works that aren't aware that they exist because of Twilight, exist because of Twilight.
