what is fandom tax

"Fandom tax" is a term that has recently emerged as a meme on social media platforms, particularly on TikTok. It was coined by the comedy creator Fanum, who is a member of streamer Kai Cenat's influencer crew AMP. The phrase refers to the way Fanum would jokingly "tax" other members of AMP in 2022 by taking bits. The meme is popular with both Gen Alpha and Gen Z, but numerous Gen Zers say they were not aware of the meme at all. The term "Fanum tax" blew up on TikTok in 2023, and it refers to the way younger generations create their own memes and slang that older generations may not understand.
