Vampires being all black leather and lace and being sexed up all the time is HVBS. Going by True Blood and basically every other vampire story on film I don't see how a vampire has time to hunt or feed seeing as how they must dress up in black, listen to heavy metal, and play with themselves all day.
I would see cause for concern if all of the vampires in the show were like you described. But they aren't. So that just makes them like humans -- everyone being different.

And maybe the vamps show their fangs because they are hungry. It's kind of like humans licking their lips.

All good points. The HVBS is annoying but that's how Modern Vamps are portrayed.

So there are standard vamps. They also have hillbilly vamps. Vampires are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are going to get.
