Groupies
29 Answers
Just why do humans feel the need to be groupies?
I don't mean the young girls that follow a band around hoping to be laid by one of them.
I mean the apparent human need to follow other human beings.
Watched something at a friends this afternoon about royalist well wishers and Prince Harry. Good luck to Prince Harry and his up coming wedding, wish them all the best. But what the hell has that got to do with anyone not connected in any way at all with them? The same with people that follow their football team all over the country, or people who cant wait to see the latest celeb gossip about their favorite stars.
I'm not knocking any of it, Just trying to understand why humans have this need to idolise other human beings?
(and then conversely demonising those same beings when they prove to be as human as the rest of us)....?

It's all tribal, a protect and survive mechanism evolved through thousands of years, it brings people together and there is safety in numbers, it's just a little skewed now because we have evolved a society where violent tribes are generally not smiled upon, so people affiliate themselves with groups etc.
