Fandom is a cultural phenomenon that has experienced increased participation alongside consumerism and postmodern society. Fandom refers to a variety of collective behaviors performed by persons who have strongly and socially identified with an aspect of consumer culture, mass media, or some other artifact or non-material culture. Collective behaviors may include being active in fandom social media sites, attending fandom events in public, dressing in a manner that expresses one's solidarity with an aspect of consumer culture, possessing and purchasing paraphernalia that confirms one's attachment to an aspect of consumer culture.
Fandom has been known to affect adult development over a person's life course in both positive and negative ways.

a cult of either your best friends or worst enemies. you all obsess over the same person/show/etc. yet you still almost kill each other by getting in dumb-ass fight that’s usually start because someone reposted something without ‘creds’ or had an opinion. speaking of opinions, YOU CANT HAVE ONE. you meet internet friends and block out all your irls and then claim you have no friends even though you spend 90% of the time on your phone and that’s the reason they all hate you. you also spend 90% percent of your time crying over your favs and saying you won’t meet them even though you probably will one day.
ages range from 12-22 yet all parents are convinced you are talking to 60 year old men.
