For most of us, a campaign for a concert is a pleasant pastime that makes it possible to once again see your favorite artist on stage, teden, dance, then go home. But you may not even notice that the closest to the scene is a few girls who, after the show, there are no fun discussion of the new track with the rest of the fans on the way home, and close communication with people who have just completed the concert. This separate caste of fans, "close to the body", is called Grup. As a rule, the Grup become young girls, insanely lovers in the star, their task - to achieve the most close contact with your favorite artist, and here all the means are good.
Where did the "special" fans come from
The concept of "Grup" appeared in the mid-60s in the USA, it was a flourishing period of cult rock bands, such as The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and The WHO - "close" fans of that time became no less popular in narrow musical circles , more often due to the fact that the Muscans preferred to change partners, who themselves were not against replenishing the collection of star bodies in their bed. Later, many girls start writing memoirs about their adventures. The book I'm With a Band: Confessions of a Gropie, written by the strangess queen of the middle of the last century Pamela de Barr. De Barr herself explained his "hobby" to maintain the feeling of inner freedom, according to her, the essence of feminism is to do what you want, without asking the permission of a man. However, psychologists disagree with such a point of view: experts consider such a craving for sex with a well-known person a special form of sexual perversion, a woman is difficult to get satisfaction with an ordinary man "from the neighboring entrance", another thing is the famous people who look at the whole world. For the artists themselves, such contacts are not a noticeable event in life, and therefore the naive, but the stubborn desire of the girl Piennitz to become "that very" for the idol, most often remains a unrealized dream.
girls are ready for everything to get into the surroundings of the artist
By the end of the 20th century, the Grup ceased to be a special caste in the world of fans: an AIDS epidemic, overdose of prohibited substances and sudden deaths in alcohol fan were cooled by the fervor of fans and artists themselves, and yet for a more or less famous artist will not be difficult to find the "Girl" From a number of admirers of creativity. If 50-40 years ago, the connection with the frontman of the popular band gave simply incredible advantages, today artists try to hide connections or generally close the door in front of the nose of particularly interested fans, which is not surprising: today, in the era of magnitude accusations of sexual violence and Metoo movement, get The first bands of editions with a shameful stigm "Abuser" incredibly simply simply, and accusations of this kind can put a cross on the further career and cross the achievements of any level. Artists are no longer risking.
Nevertheless, the desperate fans do not lose hope to touch the heart of the musician, which sometimes leave all the girls savings - tickets and Merch are not suiced. Grup in the form in which they were found "Rollings", no longer exist, but even to complete disappearance they are still far away - who will merry and please the musician when the light of Sofitov goes out?
