Little monsters is an affectionate term for children, acknowledging their capacity for mischief and chaos while framing it endearingly: The little monsters finally fell asleep.

The phrase gained wider currency as the name Lady Gaga adopted for her fanbase, embracing outsider identity and mutual devotion between artist and audience.
