Fan economy can be seen mainly as a system of practices of fans’ material consumption of their idols’ products and practices of cultural consumption with occasional fans’ own (re)production of their idols’ images, products, and side products that manifest the creative dimension of fandom, apart from the commercial aspect (Larsen and Zubernis, 2012).
粉丝经济主要可以被视为粉丝对偶像产品的物质消费和文化消费实践的系统，偶尔粉丝会自己（重新）制作偶像的形象、产品和副产品，这些都体现了粉丝的创造性维度，除了商业方面。

➡️Supporting culture
