How to use 歌迷
歌迷 refers to fans of a singer or of pop music in general, and it often appears with a singer's name before it. Example: 她是周杰伦的歌迷。(Tā shì Zhōu Jiélún de gēmí.) She is a Jay Chou fan.
歌 (gē) means song, and 迷 (mí) means to be lost in or crazy about something. A 歌迷 is someone who gets lost in a singer's songs.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 歌迷 for any kind of fan, but fans of ball sports are 球迷 (qiúmí), and movie fans are 影迷 (yǐngmí). Also keep 迷 in the second tone, not the third tone of 米 (mǐ).
