What's up with the "Fan Culture" yo??!

I could never understand this madness to have a glimpse of a superstar, who wouldn't even know that you exist or you were there in the millions of people cheering for him/her!

People unabashedly protect their idols, argue, fight, upto the point of own sacrifice (metaphorically and literally, in some cases), bruising their own relationships for the idol who doesn't give a damn!

Why? Why? Why?

Is it some sort of idol worship that evades my senses or is it that people's lives are so vacant, so meaningless that they borrow their credibility by being merged with a superstar who has done some damn things in his/her life?
