Yeah.

So this happened in the 60s, in the 1960s, when everyone was so wild for the Beatles, obsessed.

It was a cultural phenomenon and formally known as Beatlemania.

Fans would watch.

wait in droves, huge crowds waiting for them to come in at an airport or their concerts.

People were fainting.

They were so passionate.

There's nothing like that now.

Their Swifties are intense, but they're not fainting, right?

I guess I don't know for sure, but yeah, I mean, maybe from exhaustion, but not from like being so emotionally invested in a famous person.

Yeah, sort of obsessiveness, I would say.

I think of WrestleMania, which is just sort of a fun name for like people who like the name for the actual event of going to like these wrestling spectacles.

Right.

But it's when you when you talk about like mania specifically is a technical term for an obsession for something.

Right.

Okay.

And still people now, I know a lot of people go to Holland, the Netherlands to see the tulips.

And you could call them, you know, tulip crazed or be like, oh, it's tulip mania time when you have a friend that like, that's all they want to do is go see the tulips.

Yeah, definitely.

Often I would shorten the initial word.
