The Fandom.

So there's something that's been drilling away at the back of my mind for a long time now.

The Fandom.

A mixture between two words- Fans, and kingdom.

I'm not talking about a certain band's Fandom. Not My Chemical Romance. Not Avenged Sevenfold- No.

Just the fandom of anything or anyone.

Has it come to the point where fans have become all one being?
Are we not seen as indaviduals anymore?

Sure- the fandom makes the artist who they are.
Yes- without the fandom, they would be nothing.

And yet we're not even seen as indaviduals.

There are bands that say they think of each and every one of us as our own person. Take My Chemical Romance for example.

But the truth is- They don't know you.
The chances of ever meeting them are slim to none.
And even if you do, you'll just be another fan.

Another peice of "The Fandom".

Just a thought.
