cult followings
Dedicated obscure audiences
Cult followings are devoted fan bases that form around creative works, artists, or products that never achieved mainstream success.
The term implies passionate loyalty from a small but intensely dedicated audience: The film flopped at the box office but developed a cult following on home video.
What distinguishes a cult following from ordinary fandom is the sense of discovering something overlooked or underappreciated by the masses.
