(Fandoms I am in or have been in are the bolded ones.)

Mass Effect, Portal, and most other popular sci-fi video game fandoms: Hardcore gamers who think they're superior to other geeks.

Final Fantasy: Stereotypical nerds and weeaboos.

Lord of the Rings, Star Trek TOS, and Star Trek TNG: Old farts who want everyone else to get off their lawn and young'uns who either A) had the fandom passed down to them from their parents/grandparents, or B) got into Trek/LotR through the reboot/movies.

Star Trek DS9 and Voyager: The same as TOS & TNG, but with more hispters.

Star Trek Enterprise: People who don't like the other Star Trek shows.

Star Trek Reboot: The same as Enterprise, but with more Migratory Slash Fandom types who jumped on the bandwagon after losing interest in SPN/Teen Wolf/Merlin/etc.

X-Men (comics): Self-proclaimed 90s kids.

X-Men (movies): People who find the franchise's concept and characters interesting, but hate comic books.

MCU and Arrow: Same as the X-Men movies.

Smallville: People who either A) have never read a Superman comic, or B) read a few Superman comics and decided they found Superman boring.

The Walking Dead: People who either A) don't like the survival horror genre in general but make an exception for this show, or B) really really really REALLY like the genre to the point where you wonder if they're stockpiling guns in their basement in the event of an actual zombie apocalypse.

Sherlock Holmes (ACD): The same as LotR and Star Trek TOS & TNG.

Sherlock Holmes (2009): RDJ fangirls and people who don't care about the ACD canon.

Sherlock (BBC): People who haven't actually read the ACD canon, but act like they're experts on it.

Elementary, Steven Universe, and Dragon Age: SJWs.

A:TLA, Kingdom Hearts, and Harry Potter: Batshit insane shippers.

Sleepy Hollow: Batshit insane shippers who are also SJWs.

Supernatural: Tinhatters, people who prefer style over substance, and people who claim to be fans of "Judeo-Christian" mythos but only ever write fic/meta that relates to the "Christian" part of the equation.

Sailor Moon and Transformers: Adults who have fond memories of watching the original show in their childhood and are very, very offended by the reboot(s).

Merlin and Teen Wolf: People who don't give a shit about canon and are in fandom mostly for the fic.

Hetalia: Immature obnoxious weeaboos who only care about teh buttsecks, and pretentious self-proclaimed academics who leave bitchy tl;dr comments on inoffensive plotless fluff fics.

Naruto: People who haven't watched much anime that isn't mainstream shonen.

Attack on Titan and Bleach: People who used to like Naruto but gave up on it and needed another show to fill the void.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Breaking Bad, and the Nolan Batman films: Pretentious people.

Star Wars (Original Trilogy): Whiny entitled fanboys.

Star Wars (Prequels): People who don't like the original trilogy.

Hannibal: Creeps.

Game of Thrones: Assholes.

My Little Pony: Creepy assholes.

Any movie Tim Burton has had any involvement in: "Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!)."

I think with ACD Sherlock, Star Trek, and Tolkien, the thing is that there's still people coming in basically in the older way and, you know, interacting with those things in the same way that fans have for a long time. It's just that numerically they're sort of dwarfed by people who got into them through popular remakes and reinterpretations. Which of course is also fine, more fans is always good. Just that's my sense. Personally although I'm young I've been into all three since I was a kid and for much the same reason: I am a horrible nerd, and basically lived in libraries during my childhood.

Agree on MLP.

LOL at the "Sleepy Hollow"/Tim Burton ones :p. Ah, yeah, I've definitely come across some fans fitting that description.

I do enjoy doing a bit of shipping here and there for "Sleepy Hollow", but I try to stay the hell away from the ship war crap and other drama in that fandom. I just want to have fun watching the show and enjoy the entertaining characters :).
