There are vampire role-players, otherwise called “fashion vamps”, differ distinctly from human vampires in that they are “serious vampire fans and those who dress up in vampire clothing, live a vampire lifestyle (e.g. sleep in coffins), and primarily participate in RPGs such as Vampire: The Masquerade.”
And there are people that have the belief of being actual vampires. These people follow the “vampire lifestyle”. The vampire lifestyle (or vampire subculture) is an alternative lifestyle, based on the modern perception of vampires in popular fiction. The vampire subculture has stemmed largely from the goth subculture, but also incorporates some elements of the sadomasochism subculture. The Internet provides a prevalent forum for the subculture along with other media such as glossy magazines devoted to the topic.
Active vampirism within the vampire subculture includes both sanguinarian vampirism, which involves blood consumption, and psychic vampirism, whose practitioners believe they are drawing spiritual nourishment from auric or pranic energy.
Like the fictional vampires some traditions of modern vampires drink blood either animal or human (although human is preferred.) They claim they need blood to make up for a deficiency of proper energy processing within the body. It also helps them gain energy and strength.
The members of the Vampire Subculture are :
Sanguinarians
Those that drink blood are called sanguinarians or “sanguine vampires”. They and psychic vampires address themselves as “real vampires” and usually have a collective community. They believe they have a physical and/or spiritual need to drink human blood to maintain their mental and physical health.
Psychic vampires
Commonly known as psi-vamps are another kind of human vampire that claim to attain nourishment from the aura, psychic energy, or pranic energy of others. They believe one must feed from this energy to balance a spiritual or psychological energy deficiency such as a damaged aura or chakra.
Living vampires
Often calling themselves by the namesake are highly spiritual and consider vampirism an action required for spiritual evolution and ascension, yet maintain a rigid ethical system in its practice. Living vampires are rarely, but sometimes, blood drinkers and are usually organized into initiatory orders such as Temple of the Vampire, Ordo Strigoi Vii, the Order of the Black Dragon and the NOVA (New Orleans Vampire Association )
Transcendental vampires
The notion of the vampire having an imortal soul is the focal point of this Vampiric identity. Those who associate with this form of Vampiric identity such as the coven House Bennu hold the belief that their soul/psyche may travel into, and fuse with the soul/psyche and body of a younger Vampire with the goal of achieving immortality. Transcendental Vampires may be sanguinarian and/or psychic in nature.
And we shouldn’t forget the Blood Donors, THE people that willingly allow human vampires to drink their blood. Believe it or not, within the vampire society, human vampires and donors are considered equal, yet donors are expected to be subservient to the vampires. At the same time, donors are difficult to find, and because of that, human vampires have no reason to abuse their donors.

Whatever... 
You are deeply confused, but at least you tried, which is more than most do.
1: People who follow the ‘vampire lifestyle’ are fashion vampires. People who are real vampires may take part in the vampire community (VC), but they don’t live any specific lifestyle. Joseph Laycock refers to them as an identity group, not a subculture. They don’t dress in any specific fashion, or have any specific interests in common, beyond what they are. Some individuals might be goths, or into S&M, or into Nickelback, or whatever… none of those things define the vampire community in any way, or have anything at all to do with its origins, and they are not actually that prevalent. It’s possible for a real vampire to a vampire lifestyler, too, but again, that’s just an example of personal tastes and interests among members of the VC, and indicates nothing about the VC itself, which is full of paramedics, school teachers, cops, artists, computer programmers, … well, you get the point. Ordinary people, who look ordinary and behave in (mostly) ordinary ways. It’s really not appropriate to call this a subculture, because they don’t share a common culture at all.
2: I have no idea where you got the ‘Living Vampires’ term from – most members of the VC will refer to themselves that way. It’s also really weird to see NOVA, which is a support, education, and charity work organization, lumped in with TOV and the OSV. I’m sure they would be not thrilled. ^_^ I know what you’re getting at, but I think ‘religious vampirism’ might be a better term for it, and the individual religious groups have their own names, I’m sure. And NOVA has nothing to do with that. NOVA is really a House, if anything.
3: Transcendental vampires? This just sounds like a description of some of the belief systems some vampires have. Some Houses are arranged around ideas like this, but these folks aren’t a separate category of vampire, they are just sangs and psy-vamps who hold to certain spiritual beliefs. No different from other sangs and psy-vamps beyond that. No, a House is not a coven. It’s more of a support group/club/family, created around a set of ideals and goals (whether spiritual or not) – sometimes as simple as providing community in a local area.
4: If you think donors are, or are expected to be, subservient to vampires, you are sorely mistaken. There are some vampires who find donors in the fetish community, and as a result, you may see some of those types of relationships, but again, that has to do with individuals, and not with any trend in the community itself. Certainly not with any expectations within the VC.
Wow! I couldn’t imagine I was so wrong! Thanks for your comment.
We found that in wikipedia and we didn´t know they were so wrong.you can search it too to see all that.thanks for the comment and for the interesting information.
Thank you for setting this straight and telling the truth Winged Wolf.
