Fandoms

Every band, celebrity has one. If we are honest with ourselves, it was either "Potterhead" or the "beliebers". But also if everyone is honest then they are part of one.  It has become quite popular the last four years.  So much that there has been award for the best fandom. Fandom's make people feel like they are a part of something. There are people that can connect over the same thing they like. But if something happens in two or more different fandom it is like a high school cat fight. It gets ugly and quick. There are two things that make me mad about fandoms.

The first thing that makes me mad about fandoms is that some people act like you can only be a part of one fandom. If you break it down it is basically people get mad if you like more than one person at time. Which is really stupid. You should be able to like who you like and no worry about drama with other fandoms. Another thing is that when a fandom has been around for a while then new people come in. People get mad because the person they found gets more famous. Which is dumb, why would you want to keep that person to yourself. You should want everyone to know about them. It is just more people you could become friends with and connect over the same thing.

The other thing that makes me mad about fandoms is that a lot of the major fandoms don't get along which makes me mad. Can't we all just support each other and each other’s artist. Why can't we all be friends. I know there have been numerous fights on twitter with different fandoms. According the things I have gathered a lot of the fandoms of Scooters artist don't get along with the One direction fandoms. Justin Bieber and One direction get along great but their fan bases don't. Another fandom that doesn't get along is One Direction and The Wanted don't get along. But the band's don't get a long either. When the bands don't get along and the fanbases don't get a l0ng it a recipe for disaster. 

Another thing about fandoms is coming up with a name. A lot of the best fandoms have good names. Usually the fandoms that don’t succeed are the ones that can’t get along and have a terrible name.

If you are a part of a fandom try not to do these things. Also let me know what fandom you are apart with we may have similar interests.
