Fandom Depression

When fans get so invested in an artist or band, that they fantasize about them so much so, that they fall into an overwhelming depression over not being able to play out that fantasy or be with them.
*Could lead to stalking and obsession to a dangerous level.
**More common among K-pop fans.

I got fandom depression over this K-pop group. I need a break or a cleanse.

That Fandom

The name antis/haters give to bts armys since they're too scared to use our real fandom name! It's like Voldemort up in this bish! They who must not be named! It's so ridiculous atp.

When my fave does this "that fandom" will be screaming.

secondhand fandom syndrome

When your friend (or friend group) is very passionate about a series that you have not read or watched yet, and talk so excitedly about it you recognize and become excited by things related to that series

I’ve never watched that anime but thanks to my pal Mark I know everything about the main character, I think I have secondhand fandom syndrome
