It's like a club built on the internet that celebrates a specific topic, except thousands of people join it, and most of them don't even know what the others look like in real life. It also completely destroys your life. Here are some symptoms of a fangirl/fanboy:

You find yourself locked in your room for several days
Your room is suddenly covered in posters
You find yourself reading fanfiction
You realise that you're yelling at someone because they didn't understand your fandom and accidentally insulted it
You notice that you're crying because a relationship you wanted to happen was made impossible because one or more decided to pair up with someone else (please refer to shipping.)

Please, for your own sake, don't join any fandoms. I guarantee that it will destroy your life, then kill you slowly with feels. Then again, you don't really choose the fandom. THE FANDOM CHOOSES YOU, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
I have been in the Attack On Titan fandom for several months now. Please save me. Find a way for me to get out. HELP!!

A fandom is simply the definition of selling your soul to the devil. It's unreversible. Choose your fandom(s) wisely.

Know that when you join a fandom, people will have many different opinions like per say twenty one pilots. When fanfictions are written for the fandom, it sparks controversy due to people thinking Josh tops or Tyler tops. (Warning: if you join the TØP fandom, you will become trash. If you are already trash, you will become ever more irrelevant because this fandom is time consuming. Say goodbye to any other social life that isn't within the fandom)

But in short that's not so short, a fandom is a community of people who come together that have a common interest. Pretty much the fanbase of a book/movie/show/band

Fun Fact!: a bandom is a combination of band and fandom, together making bandom so if you like P!ATD or PTV then you're apart of the bandom

A conglomeration of fans and enthusiasts of a certain TV show, book, movie, anime or comic book which includes fanfiction writers and people posting on forums about the characters in the piece of fiction. While this is mostly harmless, some fandoms can become quite annoying or exaggerate the quality of the piece of fiction. This is where they cross into fan wanking and becoming fan boys. The most annoying fandoms nowadays are usually anime fandoms and the most annoying are Dragonball, Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Type-Moon, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Dragonball, while it is a good anime, has some of the most annoying fans around that always brags about that old meme "It's over 9,000" and Evangelion fans once threatened the producers of the show with death threats.
Best quote about an annoying member of a fandom

Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it, but don't pull it out in public and wave it in others' faces
