Music fans can differ somewhat from fans of particular musicians, in that they may focus on a genre of music. Many of the trade journals around music, such as ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', were created by music fans. A notable music fan was groupie [[Cynthia Plaster Caster]], famous for making numerous plaster casts of rock stars' penises. Another was [[Pamela Des Barres]], author of the book ''[[I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie|I'm With The Band]]''. In the 1960s, the extreme frenzy of music fans surrounding [[the Beatles]] became known as [[Beatlemania]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/05/1964-beatlemania/100745/|title=1964: Beatlemania |last=Taylor|first=Alan|website=[[The Atlantic]]|access-date=October 18, 2019}}</ref> In 2019, ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' observed that popular musicians such as [[Tyler, the Creator]] had leveraged the power of fans to drive digital downloads using merchandise bundles.<ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8533363/mondo-nyc-what-influences-charts-panelists-recap|title=Merch Bundles, Memes & More: Mondo.NYC Conference Discusses What's Influencing Music Charts|magazine=Billboard|access-date=October 18, 2019}}</ref> Similarly, ''[[GQ]]'' recognized [[Vampire Weekend]] for their commitment to extensive band merchandising for dedicated fans.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.gq.com/story/vampire-weekend-merch|title=The Very Deep Merch Galaxy of Vampire Weekend|website=[[GQ]]|date=October 9, 2019 |language=en|access-date=October 18, 2019}}</ref>

====Musicals====
