The generation of Fans Culture is from the contradiction between the mass media cultural producers and consumers of popular culture. This contradiction is possible to reconcile, and Fan Culture has produced in such a confrontation. Among the dynamic process of incorporation and resistance, births of the new meaning of fan culture. The mass media through the commercialization to incorporate the fans, and the fans through the "poaching" and "collage" form their own cultural style. Commodity and consumption stimulation irrational fans, so fans should return to the rational by learning the media literacy, mass media should to take on the responsibility of public material.
