Human beings, from birth, become artists of their own life, facing multiple tasks – starting with managing one’s own existence. In our times of liquid modernity (Bauman 2009), we all need to hurry and make different choices. In the process, luck is always a factor. The ideal of happiness, according to Kant, is not a product of reason, but rather the imagination. In our times, strongly dependent on the media (Caughey 1978), celebrities and idols function as role models, becoming significant others with mostly a positive reception in the eyes of their fans – functioning more like imagined figures. Fans willingly sustain artificial relations, created through imaginaries, becoming parts of fictional structures. In this article I will try to shed light on some of the compensation mechanisms present in the fandom groups of popular music.
