Fandom? More like Family
That girl who spends hours
Fan girling over a popular boy band
Crying because they got tickets to the concert
Fainting because he touched her hand
Connecting with others who understand her
To her
It isn’t a fandom
It’s a family
That kid who nobody hangs around
Who is going through hard times
Having trouble figuring out who they are
Their parents gave up trying
And this music was the only thing that understood
The music brought people like them together
To that kid
It isn’t a fandom
It’s a family
That group who can’t stop partying
Who like to live a little
They let the music move their bodies
Getting so caught up in the beat
They wanna be like the people in the song when they grow up
They want to be something
And all of these people
To that group
It isn’t a fandom
It’s a family
All of these people connect with others like them
Who understand them
Who love the things they love
Who care about them
Lifelong best friends are made
And to them
It isn’t a fandom
It’s a family

Music brings people together and those people get so close to the point where it isnt a fandom anymore. Its family.
