- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoThey've probably attempted a portmanteau with "necromancy" but that sort of leaves out an essential connotation, doesn't it.
- gilmore606 3y agoIn old usenet/forum-speak, to "necro" a thread meant to bring it back from the dead, they're probably playing off this meaning.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoA vampire is both "immortal" and "the living dead". Immortality means that they don't grow old. If the hypothetical necrobrands never stagnate in their output, they can't grow old and thus uncompetitive. A "vampire brand" sounds even more appropriate considering hypothetically it feeds on current trends and turns them to its advantage. Then again, there's plenty of misnomers in the English language.

- hammyhavoc 3y agoZombies are visibly doing worse and not operating all that well. Vampires? They're slick, sexy killers and manipulators that people need to invite across their threshold.
