Beliebers

    To add a little personal experience, me and my best friend when we were younger were really big fans of Justin Bieber. When we would hang out we would listen to him all the time. We knew every song he wrote and we watched all the music videos like a hundred times. We still watch his old music videos to feel like our younger selves again. Screamed every time a song played in the car or when we saw pictures of him. I used to have his Someday perfume and I was so excited to get it I never wanted to use it. I had shirts with him all over that I loved to wear. I wanted to meet him so bad, recently he was supposed to go on tour before he canceled the rest of it and I almost bought tickets. I was so excited when he announced he was going on tour in 2023 cause my younger self would've died. My younger self would imagine that he was singing these songs about me and knew who I was. Every little girls dream was for Justin to sing his songs to her. 

    Teen girls would cover their walls in different kinds of Justin Bieber posters. Some would even have a bed set that had him on it. These types of people are the die-hard fans of Justin Bieber. The ones that are crazy about him and follow all about him on fan pages. Everything you would wanna know about Justin Bieber is all over the fan pages to when he was born, who is dating or where someone might've saw him. Buying Justin Bieber merch was really popular in the early 2000s when he was first coming out. Fan even might have had a cut out of him standing in their rooms.

    Justin Bieber loves his fans as much as they love him. Justin at one point says " I don't think of myself as powerful. If anything, my fans are powerful. It's all in their hands. If they don't buy my albums, I go away" (Maria). He wouldn't be where he is today without all of his fans and the support that he gets. Even when his fans mess up whether they are being too loud at a concert or they throw something on stage, and he reacts in a negative way he always ends up apologizing for it hoping that they understand where he is coming from. 

    Justin Bieber fans aren't at all "relaxed'. In this website from People there are photos of fans doing random things with Justin. A fan tried to put Justin's breath into a bottle because he was in their city. A teen girl cut a piece of her hair off that touched Justin Bieber as they were taking a photo together and saved it. This is the website showing the crazy things Beliebers have done https://people.com/celebrity/crazy-things-justin-bieber-and-one-direction-fans-have-done/.
