cult (Fandom)
A cult fandom refers to a dedicated and passionate group of fans who share a strong emotional connection to a specific media franchise, television show, film, or musical artist. These fans often engage in activities such as creating fan art, writing fan fiction, and participating in online discussions. Cult fandoms can develop around niche or unconventional works that may not have mainstream popularity but resonate deeply with their audience.
Members of a cult fandom often form tight-knit communities, attending conventions, meetups, or online forums to celebrate their shared interests. This sense of belonging can foster friendships and collaborations among fans, creating a vibrant culture around the subject they adore. Examples of cult fandoms include those surrounding The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Star Trek, and My Little Pony.
