Summary:
"To be a
fan
is to scream alone together. This is the discovery Hannah Ewens makes in Fangirls: how
music
fandom is at once a journey of self-definition and a conduit for connection and camaraderie; how it is both complicated and empowering; and how now, more than ever, fandoms composed of
girls
and young queer people create cultures that shape and change an entire industry. This book is about what it means to be a fangirl. Speaking to hundreds of fans from the UK, US, Europe, and Japan, Ewens tells the story of
music
fandom using its own voices, recounting previously untold or glossed-over
scenes
from
modern
pop and rock
music
history. In doing so, she uncovers the importance of
fan
devotion: how Ariana Grande represents both tragedy and resilience to her followers, or what it means to meet an artist like Lady Gaga in person. From One Directioners, to members of the Beyhive, to the author's own fandom experiences, this book reclaims the fangirl label for its young members, celebrating their purpose, their power, and, most of all, their passion for the
music
they love."--Publisher.
