fandom culture

Fandom culture refers to the community and behaviors of individuals who passionately engage with specific media, such as television shows, movies, books, or video games. Fans often create and share content, such as fan art, fan fiction, and discussion forums, expressing their enthusiasm and connecting with others who share similar interests. This culture fosters a sense of belonging and identity, as fans bond over shared experiences and interpretations of the material. Fandom can also lead to conventions, merchandise, and fan-led events, reinforcing the social aspect of these communities and their impact on popular culture.
