I am not a BTS fan but this is very relatable. Green Day's maiden appearance in India this weekend prompted me to examine by near-obsessive love for them when I was a teenager.
Fandom waxes and wanes but can be such a defining feature in our lives. Also, embracing the fandom, even when it is deemed childish or trivial, can be liberating. :)
BTS got me through the hell that was the delta wave in 2021. Thank you for sharing - there is a lot of resonance here for me! As for reluctantly embracing my fangirling self: I once attended the livestream of their concert in a PVR where I was probably the 28 year old in attendance without a child of my own... I sat next to five year olds rapping and teenagers gushing. While rapping and gushing myself.

My generation had mostly toxic fandoms :)
Ugh. But I suppose that still persists in some cases.
