I honestly do think it's a generational thing. There's been this operating assumption for a long time that fandom and geekiness go hand-in-hand - that fandom was a mode of engagement that was particularly strongly tied to genre media and geeky stuff. And there's actually no intrinsic reason that should be the case, especially as geeky media is effectively just mainstream blockbuster culture now (and has been for at least a decade). So I think it might be that fandom hasn't gone away but younger fans are not necessarily creating fandoms around the things that we would recognize as classical, big fandoms, and instead it's all RPF and bandom and stuff

Idk
