fan chants

Crowd singing together

Fan chants are rhythmic songs or call-and-response phrases that crowds shout in unison to support their team or performer.

They're a fixture at soccer matches, where supporters develop elaborate repertoires, and at K-pop concerts, where fans memorize synchronized chants for specific songs.

The stadium erupted in fan chants when the team took the field.
