In the digital age, where social media and the entertainment industry are deeply integrated, the structural embedding of new media technologies has profoundly reshaped the digital practices of teenagers. This process not only deconstructs traditional cognitive models but also drives the transformation of teenagers’ star-chasing behavior from individual spiritual worship to organized “fan community behavior,” presenting typical characteristics of irrational socialization. As an important manifestation of youth subculture, the influence of such phenomena has transcended the entertainment realm and permeated into the construction of socialist core values, even giving rise to an informal economic ecosystem that disrupts the normal governance order of society. Based on this, this article provides a new theoretical perspective for the governance of online subcultures and offers operational, practical paths for the cultivation of teenagers’ digital literacy and the construction of online civilization.
