Why is Alternative culture closely tied to vampires?

Lore questions 

There are so many vampire movies where the vampire is wearing goth clothing. Sometimes, they would be punk or emo. But usually, they're goth.

There's even goth music that tries to follow themes about vampires. Like, Vampyre erotica by inkubus sukkubus. There's an entire subculture of goths where they dress like vampires and wear vampire fangs.

And it seems to be that it's mostly subcultures that are darker (?)/heavier (?). I don't think I've seen a gyaru or indie vampire, lol.

And I think they're like that with werewolves and witches as well.
