a fan, especially a young female fan of a male singer or rock group, a person who seeks intimacy most often physical, sometimes emotional with a celebrity, usually a rock'n'roll artist or band member (Synonyms: band aid, band chick, band moll, band rat, snuff queen, starfucker: In mainstream rock youth culture, female fans had only submissive roles in the consumption of rock music: they could be teenyboppers, and when they grew older, groupies, with the groupie role providing a real-life extension of the sexualized hero worship of the teenybopper. • Although Pamela Des Barres, rock′s most famous groupie, was passed around like a loose joint at a be-in, she maintains today, “There was no hierarchy. The groupies were not considered less than the musicians. We were muses.” • The groupie experience from what I′ve seen is quite similar to the experiences I′ve had as the “fat girl,” who had the good looking guy give her attention behind closed doors but never had the opportunity to be the gal on his arm, and it is that emotional integrity I brought to the book.  wiktionary.org) |
