- 1跟團歌迷（常帶點貶義；比「追星族」更貼「跟著跑、想親近」這層）
A groupie is a young woman who follows popular musicians or other famous people from place to place, hoping to meet them. The word comes from group — here, the band — plus -ie, a small ending for a person tied to something. It grew in the late 1960s around rock bands. It is informal, and it can sound or old-fashioned, because the old story often treated the woman as hanging around for a kiss or a night, not as a fan with her own life. People still use it, sometimes as a joke, for anyone who trails after a star. Though actually, it does not just mean “a fan.” A fan can love the music from home. A groupie is the one who shows up, again and again, wherever the famous person goes.
組成group (the band, or the famous set of people) + -ie (a person tied to that thing). In the fan sense, from 1967.
